An ERP system\u2014be it\u2002SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or a niche solution like SalesHiker<\/a>\u2014contains vital information about inventory, finance, human resources, and supply chains. But this information is often \u201clocked up\u201d inside the software, only accessible to users who log into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the WhatsApp Business API integration, you let out this data and push it right to the people who need it the most: the customers, your agents in the field, and vendors. This breaks down the \u201cdata silo\u201d and turns manual chasing into automated, trigger-driven communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Order confirmation is one of the biggest frictions in B2B and B2C interactions. Normally, an order detail is entered in the ERP, and an email is sent out. That said, emails go to their own graveyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For companies that sell physical products, out-of-stocks cause lost sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cash flow is the lifeblood of all businesses. Sending payment reminders manually is time-consuming and can, at times, be considered aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For companies with technicians or sales reps out in the field, staying in sync with the central ERP is challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The human factor in data entry is a significant source of errors. Because staff must manually copy data from a WhatsApp chat and then paste it into an ERP, errors occur \u2014 typos in SKUs, incorrect delivery dates, and missing digits in telephone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today\u2019s customers are used to \u201cUber-like\u201d transparency. They want to see precisely where their order or service request is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t forget to factor in the value of a customer service agent\u2019s time. A large portion of those inbound calls are \u201cWhere is my order?\u201d or \u201cSend me my most recent invoice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email has an open rate of 20% on average, but WhatsApp\u2002has a staggering 98% open rate. Also, most users read a WhatsApp message within 90 seconds of receiving it. For important ERP alerts\u2014for example, a sudden change in price or a shipment delay due to an emergency\u2014WhatsApp makes sure the message gets seen, and there\u2019s follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve end-to-end automation, the integration typically follows a three-layer architecture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security is the top priority when integrating these systems. The official WhatsApp Business API\u2002makes sure all communications are end-to-end encrypted. In addition, by running the integration on a solid CRM\/ERP platform such as SalesHiker, companies maintain their GDPR and SOC2 compliance, as customer data never leaves the safe walls of your company through exposure to unknown third-party \u201cgray-market\u201d tools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n At SalesHiker, we are crm believers, but we believe you should not be confined to this space.
