Connect Aptean to your ecommerce store
Bespoke Aptean ERP integrations for Magento 2 and Shopify. Order automation, real-time inventory sync and batch tracking built for food and beverage, distribution and wholesale operations.
Industry-specific ERP, connected to your digital channel.
Aptean's ERP products are built around specific industries: food and beverage, wholesale distribution, manufacturing. The data model reflects those industries, batch references, lot numbers, pack sizes, supplier codes and complex pricing structures that a generic integration tool will not handle correctly without significant configuration.
We build bespoke integrations that map your Aptean workflows accurately to your Magento 2 or Shopify storefront. That means scoping your data model, understanding your compliance requirements and designing the integration around your operation rather than forcing your operation to fit a template.
Every data point that keeps your operation running.
Orders
Orders placed on your store are pushed into Aptean automatically, with correct customer account references, delivery instructions and order type classifications applied.
Inventory & batches
Stock levels sync in real time, including batch and lot allocations for food, beverage and regulated products where traceability is a compliance requirement.
Customer accounts
Trade customer records, credit limits and account history are kept consistent between Aptean and your ecommerce platform so account buyers always see accurate information.
Pricing
Customer-specific pricing, contract rates and volume discounts managed in Aptean are reflected accurately on the storefront at checkout.
Despatch
Despatch events from Aptean trigger automated customer notifications with carrier and tracking details, removing manual update tasks from your operations team.
Product data
Product records, units of measure, pack sizes and specification data maintained in Aptean are kept in sync with your storefront catalogue.
Integration that reflects how distribution actually works.
Distribution ERP integrations are rarely straightforward. Aptean manages account-based pricing, credit terms, delivery scheduling and complex product hierarchies that all need to be represented accurately on your ecommerce storefront. We spend time with your operations team during scoping to map these workflows before any development begins. The result is an integration that automates the right things rather than creating new exceptions your team has to handle manually.
Built to handle your peak, not just your average.
Queue-based architecture ensures high-volume periods do not create backlogs or dropped records in Aptean. Every sync event is logged, every failure surfaces via alerting and retry logic handles transient errors without manual intervention. We offer ongoing maintenance retainers so the integration stays current as Aptean and your ecommerce platform release updates.
Common questions about Aptean integration
Aptean is a provider of industry-specific ERP software used widely in food and beverage, manufacturing, distribution and retail. Its UK product range includes former Sanderson solutions acquired as part of Aptean's expansion, covering wholesale, distribution and food manufacturing operations. If your business runs on an Aptean ERP, there is a good chance we have seen its data model before.
We have experience integrating with Aptean's distribution and wholesale ERP products, including those originating from the former Sanderson range. The right approach depends on which Aptean product you are running, its version and the APIs available. We assess this during scoping, get in touch with details of your system and we will give you an honest view.
Yes. We build Aptean integrations for both Magento 2 and Shopify. The platform-side approach differs but the outcome is consistent: automated data flow with proper error handling, alerting and monitoring so you know immediately if something needs attention.
Yes. Food and beverage operations often require batch and lot tracking for traceability, use-by date management and specific labelling data. These requirements shape the integration architecture from the start. We scope the compliance and traceability needs alongside the standard order and inventory flows.
Batch and lot tracking is part of the core integration design for regulated products, not an afterthought. We map batch references through the order and despatch workflow so your traceability records in Aptean remain accurate even when orders originate online.
A standard integration covering orders, inventory and customer sync typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. Builds with batch tracking, industry-specific compliance requirements or complex pricing structures take longer. We scope accurately before work begins.
