No, with Pipe17 the choice is yours. If you’re a multi-channel merchant, Pipe17 can act as your system of record by synchronizing orders, fulfillments, inventory, and products across all your channels in real-time. If your business uses an ERP, you will probably want that to be your system of record, with Pipe17 connecting your commerce applications to your ERP so transactions flow into and/or out of your ERP in real-time. If your business doesn’t use an ERP, you may want to have your ecommerce store (like Shopify or BigCommerce) be the system of record for your product catalog and inventory, and have Pipe17 sync changes into and out of there.
