What if the real issue in eCommerce isn’t your sales strategy or your marketing funnel… but the disconnect between the systems you use to run your business? Most brands obsess over traffic and conversion but not enough of people are asking: what happens after the order is placed? Disjointed systems will always lead to mismanaged inventory, delayed shipments, and missed opportunities to build loyal customers willing to advocate for your business. But what if integration didn’t mean hiring more developers or duct-taping platforms together? What if it meant improved visibility into the way your business operates? In this piece, we break down what it actually looks like to connect your eCommerce platform with your ERP system, without the buzzwords. Real talk. Real tools. Real results.

If I Could Go Back to 1988 and Give Myself Advice… I’d say: build the kind of business you’d want to be a client of. In 1988, I started a business with someone I’d known for six hours, over lunch, without a business plan—just a shared belief that there had to be a better way to serve clients. We didn’t have venture backing or buzzwords. We had dial-up modems, floppy disks, and a commitment to lead with honesty. Now, 37 years later, we’ve experienced technology evolving at lightning speed—but what’s kept us relevant and top of mind for our clients isn’t the tools. It’s the trust. In this retrospective, I reflect on what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why our approach to client relationships still matters just as much—if not more—today. If you’re leading a business through growth or transformation, I hope this gives you something to think about.
