Integration Assessment

Not sure whether your ERP, PIM or 3PL connection to Shopify should be fixed or rebuilt? Shero maps every data sync between Shopify and your other systems, from orders and inventory to tracking and refunds, shows where syncs fail or lag, and recommends a repair, a connector or a rebuild.

Data owner

One system named as owner of each field

For each product, price, stock and customer field, the assessment names the system that owns it. Many of the sync errors we find come from two systems writing to the same field.

Error logs

Failure history read from your logs

We read recent error logs from your middleware and apps to see which syncs fail and how often. When existing connectors cannot handle the data, we scope custom API development for that part.

3 parts

Stack map, gaps and development priorities

The assessment gives you a map of your tech stack, the gaps we found and a priority list. You can use it to plan the work with us or with your own developers.

API version

Apps and connectors checked for retired APIs

We check every app and connector against Shopify's API versions and flag any that use a version close to retirement. Shopify retires each version about a year after release.

"Since partnering with Shero Commerce, our eCommerce revenue has grown by 200%. Their support and solutions have been game changers for our business."

Shero delivers the assessment as a documented tech stack map, a gap and conflict analysis, and a prioritized development plan that sequences integration work by business impact and dependency order.

• Full tech stack documentation
• Data flow and gap analysis
• Integration failure diagnosis
• Redundant tool identification
• Development priority and sequencing
• Vendor and approach recommendations

01

Current state documented before any new work is scoped

Shero maps every integration in your current Shopify tech stack: the systems connected, the data flowing in each direction, the sync frequency, the error rates, and the business processes each integration supports. This document is the baseline against which gaps, conflicts, and rebuild candidates are identified.

02

Integration failures diagnosed at the root cause

Most integration failures are symptoms of a data model mismatch, not a connectivity problem. ERP integration failures in particular tend to show up as inventory discrepancies or order sync errors that obscure the underlying mapping problem.

03

Redundant tools identified and consolidation options presented

Most established Shopify tech stacks contain two or three tools doing overlapping jobs. Shero identifies redundancy, estimates the consolidation saving, and presents options for simplifying the stack without losing functionality. This is often where the assessment delivers the most immediate operational value.

04

Development order sequenced by business impact and dependency

The assessment output includes a prioritised list of integration work sequenced by business impact first and technical dependency second. Fixes that prevent revenue loss come before improvements that increase efficiency. Dependencies between integrations are mapped so that the order of work reflects which integrations other systems rely on.

05

Vendor and approach recommendations grounded in your tech stack

The assessment deliverable includes a recommendation on whether to rebuild, replace, or extend each integration. iPaaS and middleware options are evaluated as part of the recommendation where applicable.

06

Assessment deliverable your team can act on independently

The assessment delivers a documented tech stack map, gap analysis, and prioritised plan in a format your team can use to make decisions and brief future agencies. If Shero develops what the assessment recommends, the assessment deliverable becomes the project specification. If another agency does the work, the document is complete enough to be the brief.

Sarris Candies

Sarris Candies is a family-owned Pennsylvania chocolate maker known for personalized chocolate bars, custom cakes, and gift assortments. Having outgrown its custom .NET platform, the brand moved to Shopify Plus with Shero for a mobile-first storefront, custom personalization, and ordering options for gift buyers and bulk purchasers. With every high-traffic page manually redirected, organic search recovered and grew past pre-migration levels, with Core Web Vitals in the green from launch.

Industrial Safety Solutions

Justrite

JustRite Safety Group is a leading manufacturer of workplace safety products with roots going back to 1906. The brand partnered with Shero to merge four separate Magento stores into a single multi-store megasite, allowing customers to shop across all brands with one shared cart. Organic traffic doubled almost immediately after launch and continued to grow steadily over the following six months.

CCL - Center for Creative Leadership

Shero moved the Center for Creative Leadership, a global nonprofit, from iApps to Magento 2. We integrated Microsoft Dynamics 365 and VitalSource, set up international selling, and improved the store and checkout on every device.

One version of your inventory and orders

When Shopify and your back office disagree, you oversell, send orders out late or chase invoices. We build the sync so both sides match.

Inventory
Stock levels synced from your ERP or warehouse so Shopify never sells what you do not have.
Orders
Orders flow to your ERP with taxes, discounts and shipping in the right fields.
Products and pricing
Products, price lists and B2B pricing pushed from your system of record.
Monitoring
Failed syncs flagged and retried before they turn into customer emails.

An integration assessment takes 2 to 3 weeks. Send us your system list.

01

Discovery
We get read access to Shopify and connected systems, then ask ops, tech and commerce what each integration should do. You get the scope and acceptance criteria in writing.
02

Stack map
Every app, connector and custom script is listed with its data direction, sync timing and error history.
03

Failure tracing
For syncs that fail, we follow the record from Shopify into the other system to find exactly where it breaks.
04

Conflict review
We flag two systems writing one field, tools doing the same job twice and mappings that no longer match how you sell.
05

Development plan
You get a written stack map and a fix list ranked by business impact, detailed enough to brief any team.

01

What does a Shopify integration assessment produce?

The assessment delivers four documents: a tech stack map showing every system connected to Shopify and the data flowing between them; a gap and conflict analysis identifying what is missing, broken, or duplicated; root cause findings for any active integration failures; and a prioritised plan sequenced by business impact and technical dependency. The deliverables are complete enough to act on independently or to brief another agency.

02

How long does an integration assessment take?

03

Do we need to pause integration work while the assessment is under way?

04

We know our ERP integration is broken. Can an assessment tell us why?

Root cause diagnosis of active integration failures is a core part of the assessment. Shero traces the data flow at the field level to identify where records are failing, what is causing the failure, and what the fix requires. The assessment distinguishes between a configuration fix that can be applied quickly and a rebuild that requires a larger scope.

05

What if we want Shero to carry out what the assessment recommends?

06

How does an integration assessment differ from an ongoing retainer?

An integration assessment is a fixed-scope engagement with a defined deliverable. It is designed to answer a specific question: what is my current integration state and what should I do next. An ongoing retainer covers the development and maintenance work that follows. For more on our integration services, see our ERP, WMS, and custom API development pages.
