About Michael Miller Fabrics
Based in New York, Michael Miller Fabrics is a leading fabric supplier with 11–50 employees, serving customers across the US through both B2B and B2C channels. The business runs SAP Business One as its ERP and Magento Enterprise as its eCommerce platform.
The Operational Challenge
Data was synchronized manually between the online store and the ERP. Running B2B and B2C models side by side required complex product mapping across simple, configurable, bundled, and grouped items, real-time inventory visibility across channels, multi-tiered pricing and discounts, and a way to reconcile incompatible contact person data structures between the two systems.
The problem
Running SAP Business One and Magento Enterprise as disconnected systems surfaced specific problems for Michael Miller Fabrics:
- 01
Manual Data Synchronization
Data moved between the online store and ERP by hand.
- 02
Dual B2B/B2C Business Models
Both models had to run simultaneously, each with distinct requirements.
- 03
Complex Product Mapping
Simple, configurable, bundled, and grouped items needed to map correctly between systems.
- 04
No Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Stock levels weren't visible in real time across channels.
- 05
Multi-Tiered Pricing & Discounts
Pricing structures varied by item group and company.
- 06
Incompatible Contact Person Structures
Contact person data was structured differently in each system.
This is the exact pattern appse ai exists to remove: a fabric supplier serving both wholesale and retail customers, with complex product types and tiered pricing, running on manual data sync between its ERP and storefront.
Why appse ai
Michael Miller Fabrics needed a platform that could handle dual B2B/B2C models, map complex product types, support tiered and company-specific pricing, and reconcile contact structures across SAP Business One and Magento Enterprise.
appse ai delivered bi-directional, real-time sync across customers, items, orders, inventory, deliveries, and invoices, with support for item-group and company-specific pricing and expected delivery date sync from the purchase cycle.
The solution: automated customer, item, order, inventory & invoice sync
Instead of manual data synchronization, appse ai deployed automated workflows across Michael Miller Fabrics's SAP-to-Magento cycle:
- Bi-Directional Real-Time Sync
Customers, items, orders, inventory, deliveries, and invoices sync automatically between SAP Business One and Magento Enterprise.
- Automated Stock Updates
Inventory updates flow from SAP to Magento automatically.
- Expected Delivery Date Sync
Expected delivery dates from the purchase cycle sync to the storefront.
- Item-Group & Company-Specific Pricing
Multi-tiered pricing and discounts are supported across both B2B and B2C channels.
- Complex Product & Contact Mapping
Simple, configurable, bundled, and grouped items map correctly, and contact person structures are reconciled.
Each workflow runs as a closed loop: detect the event in one system, resolve it against the other, execute the update, and only surface an exception to a human when judgment is genuinely required.
The results
- Eliminated manual data entry
- Reduced data redundancy
- Freed team capacity for order processing, production, and planning
- Huge saving in time and resources
- Real-time inventory visibility across B2B and B2C channels
- Support for complex product types and tiered pricing
