How does Vipp’s new B2B shop ensure live stock status and data in one place?

Vipp’s new B2B shop ensures live stock status and data in one place by building directly on the ERP system Business Central instead of a middleware solution. A salesperson can therefore immediately see stock levels, without calling administration. For Nikoline Jess Hansen, IT and Digital Coordinator at Vipp and project manager for the shop, it’s precisely that immediacy that has made a real difference.

The difference Vipp notices most clearly in everyday life comes down to two things: data only needs to be maintained in one place, and the figures are live. A salesperson can be standing in Jutland and immediately see how many items are in stock in Nørre Alslev. He doesn’t need to call administration and ask. The information is simply there.

Vipp was founded in 1939 and is known in Denmark for the pedal bin, but the range is broad today including furniture, sofas, lighting, and kitchens. On top of that comes a guesthouse concept, where both private individuals and partners can stay among the products at locations in Denmark, Sweden, and Italy.
