Why integrate Google Marketing Platform with your ERP system?
Integrating Google Marketing Platform (GMP) with your ERP system can transform your business operations. By merging these two powerful tools, you can streamline your marketing efforts and improve your overall business efficiency. Imagine having all your marketing data and business operations in one place. This integration allows for real-time data sharing, which means you can make quicker, more informed decisions.
For example, if you’re running a campaign through Google Ads, the data can be directly fed into your ERP system. This helps in tracking the performance of your campaigns and understanding their impact on sales and inventory. Here at iWeb, our expert solution architects have seen businesses reduce their marketing costs by up to 20% through such integrations.
Steps to prepare for the integration
Before diving into the integration process, it’s crucial to prepare adequately. Start by assessing your current systems. Identify the data points you need to integrate and the goals you aim to achieve. This will help you create a clear roadmap for the integration process.
Next, ensure that your ERP system is compatible with GMP. Not all ERP systems are created equal, and some may require additional customisation. Our talented team at iWeb can help you evaluate your current setup and make the necessary adjustments. We’ve got 29 years of e-commerce experience, so you’re in safe hands.
Choosing the right tools and platforms
Selecting the right tools and platforms is vital for a successful integration. Google Marketing Platform offers a range of tools like Google Analytics 360, Google Tag Manager, and Google Optimize 360. Each of these tools serves a different purpose and can be integrated with your ERP system to provide comprehensive insights.
For instance, Google Analytics 360 can help you track user behaviour on your website, while Google Tag Manager simplifies the process of adding and updating tags. Our team at iWeb can guide you through the selection process, ensuring you choose the tools that best meet your business needs.
Setting up the integration
Once you’ve chosen the right tools, it’s time to set up the integration. This involves configuring both your ERP system and GMP to communicate with each other. Start by setting up data connectors that will allow the two systems to share information seamlessly.
Our talented in-house team at iWeb can handle this for you. We’ve successfully integrated GMP with various ERP systems, including Adobe Commerce and Magento. We ensure that the data flows smoothly between the systems, providing you with real-time insights.
Testing and troubleshooting
After setting up the integration, it’s essential to test it thoroughly. This helps identify any issues that may arise and ensures that the integration works as expected. Start by running a few test campaigns and tracking the data flow between GMP and your ERP system.
If you encounter any issues, our team at iWeb is here to help. We offer comprehensive troubleshooting services to resolve any problems quickly. With our e-commerce expertise, we ensure that your integration is smooth and hassle-free.
Training your team
Once the integration is up and running, it’s crucial to train your team. They need to understand how to use the new system effectively. Provide them with comprehensive training sessions that cover all aspects of the integration.
Our team at iWeb can assist with this as well. We offer training sessions tailored to your business needs, ensuring that your team is well-equipped to make the most of the integration. With our guidance, your team will be able to leverage the full potential of GMP and your ERP system.
