Sugro Enhances eCommerce Capabilities with Vision33 Partnership

Introduction of Seamless ERP Integration

Sugro, a prominent buying group, has announced a new agreement between its digital solutions provider, b2b.store, and global ERP partner and integration expert, Vision33. This partnership aims to offer Sugro’s members a seamless integration of e-commerce platforms with other business software solutions, thanks to Vision33’s proprietary cloud-based integration platform, Saltbox.

Overcoming ERP Integration Challenges

One of the significant barriers to setting up an online presence is ERP integration. With wholesalers utilizing various ERP systems, real-time integration that allows external software access marks a significant enhancement in the services Sugro can offer. This integration will streamline the process of establishing and managing online stores for Sugro’s members.

Yulia Petitt, Sugro’s Head of Commercial and Marketing, emphasized the importance of this development in achieving the group’s digital goals. “The need to offer a solution that makes setting up and using the b2b.store eCommerce platform a much smoother process is a key part of Sugro’s digital ambition,” she stated. Petitt also highlighted the potential benefits for wholesalers in having a robust online-ordering platform, encouraging all members to take advantage of these enhancements.

Innovative Features and Solutions

In recent months, Sugro has been working closely with b2b.store to introduce several new features to its eCommerce offering. These include the launch of an eLoyalty rewards scheme, displaying Profit on Return (POR) alongside product listings, and offering open banking at the point of payment. Additionally, Sugro has rolled out a group-wide B2B WhatsApp marketing solution for its members, further expanding the digital tools available to them.

Significance of the Vision33 Partnership

Rob Mannion, CEO of b2b.store, praised the collaboration, noting the impact of ERP integration on wholesalers’ eCommerce success. “ERP integration is such an important part of a wholesaler’s eCommerce journey that this latest upgrade is possibly one of the most significant they’ve done,” Mannion said. He also expressed enthusiasm about working with Vision33 to leverage the Saltbox platform for seamless ERP integration.

Vision33’s Commitment to Growth and Efficiency

Tony Whalen, CEO of Vision33, shared his excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the value of Saltbox in providing limitless integration opportunities across business systems. “In a competitive industry like food and beverage, businesses must find ways to be more cost-efficient and growth-focused,” Whalen remarked. He highlighted how Saltbox and Vision33’s expert consultants have been helping growing businesses solve challenges through automation and integration solutions for over 20 years.
