How to centrally manage online shop data with sales management software

When selling products online, “sales management” is essential.

Sales management is essential when doing business, not just for online shops.

However, when selling products online, certain problems arise.

The problem is that if you want to sell products on online shops such as Amazon or Rakuten, you will need sales management software specifically for online shops, but there is no link between this sales management software and the sales management software you are already using. As a result you will have to import the data by yourself.

Even if you manage to sell products on an online shop, it can be a problem if the back-office work after the sale becomes a heavy burden.

Thereby today, we will explain how to manage sales when selling products on an online shop.

What is sales management for online shops?

オンラインショップの販売管理とは

Sales management for online shops is a little different from general sales management.

Basically, sales management involves entering sales data into sales management software, but in the case of online shops, there may be shops such as Amazon and Rakuten Ichiba, where you will need to refer to the data from those shops.

Therefore, the more online shops you have, the more difficult it becomes to manage them.

For this reason, many people use online shop sales management software, which is certainly convenient.

However, please note that you will need to import the online shop data into your main sales management software.

Concerns about online shop sales management

As mentioned earlier, a concern with online store sales management is the need to import the online store data into the main sales management software.

Let’s explain what the specific concerns are.

Risk of double management

二重管理

When running an online store, it is not always the case that there will be two sales management software: the online store sales management software and the main sales management software.

The sales data generated online needs to be imported into the main sales management software.

Be careful not to import the same data multiple times.

If you import the same data multiple times, you will end up entering incorrect information into your main sales management software, which could have a negative impact on other operations.

For this reason, you need to be extremely careful when importing data.

Human input errors

人的入力ミス

Many online shops have a function to convert sales data into “CSV” format and export it.

Therefore, the exported sales data is imported into the main sales management software, but since the CSV file is just a string of alphanumeric characters with all unnecessary information removed, it can be quite difficult to read.

Because you have to work by looking at this string of alphanumeric characters, it is easy for human error to occur.

As mentioned above, various mistakes can be expected, such as entering the same data multiple times into the main sales management software or making a mistake in the string of characters.

Recommended management method

The recommended management method is to use the “Mail Order Data Conversion Import Module.”

The Mail Order Data Conversion Import Module is a tool that can automatically convert CSV files into the import format of sales management software and import them.

By using this tool, you can prevent human error and avoid importing the same data multiple times.

In addition, you can import online shop sales data directly into your main sales management software, so you won’t need a separate sales management software for your online shop.

This is a highly recommended tool for those who want to reduce human error, improve work efficiency, and cut costs.
