If you have been considering an online shop for your business, now is the time to make that happen. With the popularity of digital lifestyles and online shopping, it becomes necessary to have a presence on the internet. 

Who needs an online shop? 

An online shop is a great option for anyone who is ready to expand and grow their business. Whether you are a small business or larger business we have solutions to fit your needs. 

Why do you need an online shop? 

There are so many great reasons to open an e-commerce site!

• An online shop is a great way to grow your business and be seen by more potential customers. 
• Selling online can also allow you to broaden your inventory where you might be limited to what you can carry in store. 
• You can extend the hours during which customers can make purchases since an e-commerce site is available 24/7. 
• Online stores also allow you to reach a larger geographical area. 
• You can have a better idea about what your customers are buying because it is all tracked online where in a retail situation it can be harder to keep track of what people buy. 
• Some customers that prefer to purchase everything online, but some like to see the product in person before they purchase, so it is good to have options available for both preferences.

Your business needs a website. Even more importantly, your business needs a website that integrates with your inventory control software. We have created a comprehensive all-in-one enterprise resource planning (erp) solution that does just that. 

Using the power of flexible API, our solution connects four powerful tools to allow you to easily manage your business online. Adilas, WordPress, WooCommerce, and Adilas WP Shop come together to track your business from the very beginning to the very end, culminating in a robust e-commerce experience. 

What is API?

An application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. In this case we use Adilas API to integrate your track and trace directly into your website so you only have to enter inventory in one place. 

What is Adilas?

Adilas is a business software that is often called the “most complete out of the box solution available”. Not only does it offer options for inventory tracking, manufacturing records, scheduling and point of sale, Adilas also offers e-commerce and a full financials platform. Read more about Adilas, software as a service (SAAS)  here.

What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that allows your basic WordPress website to become an e-commerce site. WooCommerce offers numerous options for managing your e-commerce site and creating the perfect customer user interface. 

How does it work?

We will use a plant nursery as an example. In a nursery you will have plants that you need to track from the beginning of their lifecycle through to sale. You would use Adilas to track the plants as well as manage costs and sell items but you still need a website to sell products from. With our solution, product information is pulled directly from Adilas into your website and sold using Adilas’s POS. You end up with an extremely responsive website that attracts customers and makes it easy for them to purchase. 

Who is it for?

Adilas WP Shop is a great option for any company that needs more from their e-commerce website than the very basic functionality offered by Adilas or WooCommerce alone. If you are using WooCommerce and looking for a robust enterprise resource planning system (ERP), consider using Adilas and Adilas WP Shop. If you are currently using Adilas and are looking to upgrade your ecommerce, using WooCommerce and Adilas WP Shop combined is one of the best solutions possible for an ecommerce website.

Why is it important?

 E-Commerce is an essential part of a modern successful business. There are many things to consider when choosing an e-commerce option for your business. How will customers locate and access your site? How will your categories, products and services appear? It is also important to  understand how the customer will use your site to maximize its effectiveness. 

Managing a menu in multiple places including your POS, in store signage and popular search engines can be time consuming and expensive. An integrated online menu and shopping experience will save your business valuable time and money. 

There are several options for businesses that use Adilas POS to allow for online menus and ordering. Each may have benefits and drawbacks for your cannabis business so it is important to thoroughly explore your options before making a decision.
