About Casinetto
Founded in October 2009 in Dubai, Casinetto positions itself as a one-stop shop for curated food, from mid-range to gourmet. It works with more than 500 Italian farmers, bakers and manufacturers, offers over 2,000 Italian products, and has grown into one of Dubai's biggest food distributors. It runs SAP Business One as its back-end ERP and Shopify as its front-end eCommerce platform.
The Operational Challenge
As orders rose, SAP Business One and Shopify needed to work as one system. Handling growing sales and order data by hand became counterproductive, costing time and risking duplicate data. Products sold in different units meant unit-of-measure conversions had to be right every time. Casinetto also needed to deploy fast to keep up with online demand, on a platform robust enough to grow with the business.
The problem
Running SAP Business One and Shopify as separate systems surfaced four specific problems for Casinetto:
- 01
Manual Order & Sales Data Handling
Growing sales and order volumes made manual handling counterproductive.
- 02
Time Loss and Duplicate Data
Manual work consumed team time and risked duplicate records across systems.
- 03
Unit-of-Measure Conversion
Products needed accurate, automated conversion between units of measure.
- 04
Speed to Deploy
Casinetto needed an integration live fast enough to keep up with online demand, on a robust and intelligent platform.
This is the exact pattern appse ai exists to remove: a growing distributor's ERP and storefront running side by side, with manual order handling and unit conversions compounding into lost time and duplicate data.
