Customer

Launched in June 2012 by industry veterans Andrew Youngs and Frank Steed, Apera is a Denver, Colorado-based company that designs, manufactures and distributes high-quality bags feature antimicrobial product protection to resist bacterial odor, vented compartments, wipeable linings, and tremendous wet/dry/tech organization.

Summary

Apera designs, manufactures, and markets specially-made antimicrobial fitness bags and accessories. Folio3 completely integrated their WooCommerce web store with their NetSuite ERP system with Folio3’s proprietary NetSuite WooCommerce Integration connector.

The Challenge

Apera had been running their web store on the WooCommerce platform while all the back-office processes were automated using Oracle’s NetSuite ERP system. As the two systems were not integrated, the organization had to rely on regular manual data entry processes to make sure that both systems remain in sync. This caused a lot of extra time and effort being utilized in just keeping the information flowing in the systems accurate.

With Folio3’s connector, Apera was able to eliminate the extra hassle of keeping both systems synchronized manually, saving time & effort while ensuring efficiency and security.

Apera Bags were able to seamlessly connect their front and back-end systems forming a holistic system working within NetSuite.
