ADP and Lightspeed Ecommerce Data Integration: The Ultimate Guide

Web Shop Manager – ADP Lightspeed eCommerce Data Integration

ADP Lightspeed is an Order Inventory management and processing system. Used to take orders and monitor physical inventory. From www.adplightspeed.com “ADP Lightspeed dealer software products help dealers maximize: parts inventory control, business processes, sales management control, service management control, rental management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and dealer profitability.”

ADP Lightspeed is not the first third party software provider that Web Shop Manager™ (WSM) has integrated with.  WSM integrates with QuickBooks using the QuickBooks web connector, Shipworks, Authorize.net payment gateway, and can automatically import product data from database such as DCI-Catalog Rack for the Automotive Aftermarket industry. WSM’s ability to interface with third party software is what helps to make it the most comprehensive eCommerce Content Management System.  With WSM we have the ability to help our clients make more money more efficiently.  One way is with eCommerce developments like ADP Lightspeed data integration.

Inventory Management Software and eCommerce Content Management System

Real time data integration with ADP Lightspeed means that our customers can process orders, manage content and products from the WSM CMS and the following data is automatically imported to ADP Lightspeed:

1. New orders made on WSM
2. Customer information, order details, etc for the new orders
3. The ability to update Order Status’ from ADP Lightspeed (canceled, backordered, complete, etc)
4. Brand Information for mapping in Lightspeed
5. Sales tax selections within WSM System>Configuration
6. Enhanced product information from the customer’s selection

Enhanced product data importing from WSM to ADP Lightspeed meant that combinations of product options, for instance red-small t-shirts or medium small t-shirts, would need their own specific SKUs and inventory management controls within WSM. WSM answered this challenge with Product Options with Inventory Management the WSM inventory management software. Within each product in WSM, product option configurations can be assigned essentially creating sub-products. This eCommerce feature enables products listed within WSM to map with ADP Lightspeed.
