Update inventory counts in real-time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as an order gets placed, you\u2019ll need to update the inventory for that item. Otherwise, you risk having sales reps sell more of an item that\u2019s no longer in stock, as well as mislead clients into thinking that they\u2019ll receive an item sooner than is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To streamline inventory updates, you can integrate your ERP system with the apps that display products and inventory counts both internally and externally\u2014such as your CRM and an e-commerce platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/integrations\/shopify?ref=connector-order-processing\">Shopify<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, you can implement automations where once the inventory for an item changes in your ERP system, that change gets accounted for automatically across your connected systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how the process can work, assuming you\u2019re only interested in updating the inventory in a CRM like Salesforce.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/xhoTH28FLdTH3XaVfyGsVmiziVMV4VH5qdu7H0e0h5qyMNmcK8eAPeDxKYTPD896icG188nEAl30yMY-4shDoNJ1ko7dtG0qCdO-75anZG-9-qBUtqBnLZMTi8zsaGzK2S6WrFvo.png\" alt=\"A workflow automation where once the inventory count for a specific item changes in NetSuite, the corresponding changes occur in Salesforce\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>What are the benefits of automated order processing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you need further convincing, here are just a few reasons why automated order processing is worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Make fewer mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Performing data entry, whether it\u2019s manually updating inventory counts or it\u2019s updating customer information across your apps, leaves your team prone to errors. And while some of these errors might be relatively harmless, many aren\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the wrong customer can receive a product or service, or a customer can receive a product or service that&#8217;s different than what they purchased.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated order processing prevents your team from performing extensive data entry, which, in turn, prevents human errors and the costly outcomes that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Improve the employee experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data entry and app hopping involved in processing orders manually doesn\u2019t just leave your team susceptible to errors\u2014it also disengages and dissatisfies them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/321725\/gallup-q12-meta-analysis-report.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As a result<\/a>, your employees are more likely to be less productive and leave your organization sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since automation can, by and large, remove these manual tasks, your organization can avoid the negative experiences they bring to you and your colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/erp-system-integration\/\"><em>The benefits of integrating your ERP system<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-11.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-11.png\" alt=\"With automated order processing working to expedite your order fulfillment process, your team can meet this customer demand effectively and\u2014as a result\u2014strengthen customer relationships.\" class=\"wp-image-43248\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

Scale efficiently<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the volume of customer orders increases, your team\u2019s ability to perform order management shouldn\u2019t be negatively impacted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated order processing helps ensure that this is the case as it takes care of the tedious, time-consuming tasks that are capable of slowing down your supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Lower costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costs involved in human errors, whether it\u2019s losing sales or it\u2019s investing resources in remedying the mistakes, can quickly add up as your business grows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the prospect of disengaging and losing employees as a result of pushing them to perform a significant volume of manual tasks can be substantial\u2014the average cost of replacing an employee, for instance, can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/247391\/fixable-problem-costs-businesses-trillion.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">double their annual salary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an automated order processing system cuts down on human errors and allows employees to focus more on high-value tasks, the negative scenarios outlined above are less likely to come to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ready to automate your order processing workflow?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workato, the leader in enterprise automation, offers a low-code UX that empowers both IT and business teams to integrate their ERP system with their CRM, e-commerce platform, and countless other systems, easily and at scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once connected, the platform lets you build end-to-end automations across these apps, enabling you to not only streamline order processing but also your entire order-to-cash process.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"article__cta\">\r\n\t\t            <div class=\"article__cta-no\">\r\n\t\t\t\t                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/request_demo?ref=connector-order-processing\">To learn more about the platform and to see how it can transform business processes that stretch beyond order processing, you can schedule a demo with one of our automation experts.<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\r\n\t\t    <\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your order processing workflow can take various forms, depending on the types of products you offer, the maturity of your business, the apps you use, the locations of your clients, and so on.
