In the era of the digital economy, integrating an online store (e-shop) with a popular ERP system like PYLON is key to the success of modern businesses. Developed by Epsilon Net, PYLON is a powerful ERP software solution that addresses all commercial management and accounting needs while integrating with the custom CRM developed by Anveto Marketers. Its integration with eSHOP B2B and B2C e-shop platforms—such as WooCommerce (WordPress), OpenCart, or PrestaShop—enables automatic data synchronization, thereby minimizing errors and saving time. Here, we explore the advantages, technical requirements, and steps for a successful integration, based on practical solutions offered by Anveto Marketers.

Anveto Marketers, based in Greece, specializes in IT and digital transformation services, helping businesses integrate tools such as PYLON into their online stores. Demand for such integrations has surged in the Greek market, driven by the continuous rise in online sales and the growing popularity of e-commerce among consumers. For instance, this integration enables real-time updates regarding inventory, orders, and customer data, creating a unified management platform. This not only improves efficiency but also boosts competitiveness in a landscape where speed and accuracy are prerequisites for business growth.

What is PYLON ERP?

PYLON ERP is a comprehensive platform from Epsilon Net, designed for small and medium-sized enterprises. It covers functions such as warehouse, sales, purchasing, accounting, and reporting management. Available in on-premise, rental, or cloud versions, it adapts to businesses of various sizes. With capabilities such as multi-company support, multi-currency transactions, and customizable forms, PYLON stands out for its flexibility and unique features.

Regarding e-shops, PYLON functions as a “back-office” system, where data from the online store flows automatically and seamlessly. This means that when a customer places an order on the e-shop, it immediately appears in PYLON for processing, invoicing, and shipping. Epsilon Net has developed APIs and connectors that facilitate this connection, enabling bidirectional synchronization—meaning updates occur in both directions.

Benefits of Connecting the e-Shop with PYLON

This integration offers multiple benefits. First, it eliminates manual data entry, thereby reducing errors and saving time. Consider a business with thousands of products: without such a connection, inventory updates are performed manually, leading to overselling or stockouts. With PYLON, inventory synchronizes in real time, enhancing the customer and consumer experience.

Secondly, it enhances customer service. PYLON Commercial, for instance, improves automation processes such as order tracking and invoicing. Customers receive real-time updates, while the business can analyze sales data to devise better strategies. According to Anveto Marketers, this integration enables shipment tracking and returns management, significantly reducing costs.

Thirdly, it improves financial management. PYLON integrates accounting tools, so e-shop sales are automatically recorded in the ledgers, VAT records, and reports. This is crucial for Greek businesses, where compliance with tax regulations is strict. Furthermore, data analysis aids in demand forecasting, optimizing inventory and reducing unnecessary expenses.

Finally, connectivity enhances security and scalability. With cloud options, businesses can expand without hardware limitations, while data is protected by advanced, ISO-certified security protocols.

How the Connection Is Made: Steps and Technical Requirements

The integration requires technical expertise but can be securely implemented through custom development. First, check the requirements: your e-shop must support APIs (e.g., RESTful), while Anveto Marketers offers ready-made solutions for any CMS (Content Management System), such as the popular WooCommerce.

Step 1: For WooCommerce and PrestaShop, we provide a bridge that synchronizes products, orders, and customers via real-time bidirectional sync.

Step 2: API Key Setup. In PYLON, enable the web service module. Then, generate API keys for access in your e-shop.

Step 3: Data Synchronization. Configure what is to be synchronized: Products (codes, prices, descriptions), Inventory (automatic updates), Orders (import into PYLON), Customers (creation of records).

Step 4: Testing. Run tests to ensure there are no errors, such as duplicate entries.

Step 5: Maintenance. Set up cron jobs for periodic synchronization and monitor logs.

Anveto Marketers can undertake such projects, ensuring seamless operation.

Examples of eSHOP platforms

• WooCommerce: Ideal for WordPress sites. Integration with PYLON enables automatic synchronization of inventory and orders.
• PrestaShop: The bridge from Anveto Marketers synchronizes in real-time.
• Shopify: Although less popular in Greece, we develop custom connectors on a case-by-case basis to meet every need of your business.
