As Halloween approaches, some in the retail world focus on the Ghoulish and Horror, and the headless horseman could be part of the story. Headless e-commerce systems are much less frightening and can make a huge amount of sense to growing businesses.
A “Headless” system can offer a tremendous amount of versatility, and as most businesses will change their website much more frequently than their back-office systems (if they have chosen sensibly, of course), it can future-proof their back-office systems for years to come. It offers scope for change as the latest e-commerce platforms come and go, providing businesses that use this approach significant benefits by being able to adopt these trends that change quickly as new systems and requirements emerge.
Cyrane is a fully integrated Order management system with a modular system that can be configured to suit a wide range of B2C and B2B businesses. Built with an API that can be configured to new e-commerce systems or sales channels, it can provide either the bare minimum or the “full monty” of integration and can be modified or adapted to meet specific requirements.
Cyrane facilitates order management from websites, multiple e-commerce sales channels, retail EPOS, and trade counter sales for credit card customers and customers with credit accounts. Warehouse management systems are scalable, and either paper-based or full wireless warehouse management systems can, of course, be upgraded from one to the other whenever required. Stock and purchase order systems have the facility for container, shipping, port, agent and duty cost management, so the Cost of goods is always accurate, and margin reporting is fact-based rather than a guestimate. The system will manage either stock or drop ship orders from multiple suppliers and has a comprehensive PIM system (multi-currency and multi-lingual if required to save time and effort managing multiple sales channels.
Being “headless,” the Cyrane order management system gives customers flexibility in the web systems they want to use and allows them to choose design agencies without reference to their particular expertise in certain systems without any disruption to business activity. This has allowed Cyrane customers to grow many-fold over a long number of years as they use more modules and need bigger systems.
