No. With Pipe17 the choice is yours. If you are a small merchant, you may want to have your Shopify store be your system of record for products and inventory and sync out from there.

With Pipe17 you can easily manage multiple Shopify or Amazon accounts from a single Pipe17 account. Shopping carts and marketplaces are simply new order sources and in the case of warehouses or 3PLs these are just additional destinations. There are no limits to how many sources or destinations you can manage with Pipe17.

Yes. We have customers that are using Pipe17 to manage more than 10,000 SKU items.

Pipe17 ingests the order tracking ID from the source system as well as product SKU and any additional IDs (e.g UPC, ASIN, GTIN) of the products that are being ordered. If a second system, for example a 3PL WMS uses a different tracking ID for its index, then we automatically provide it to that endpoint. We also generate an exception alert if the source system does not provide the ID that the second system requires. This also works in B2B situation using PO Numbers for reference.

Pipe17 can support as many warehouses and 3PLs as you need. Simply set up each one as a destination. Then use Pipe17’s built in order routing to automate how orders should be distributed between these different destinations. You can split and route orders based on location, SKUs, cost or inventory availability.

We are working on an EDI connector. If this is something you are interested in please contact us and let us know.

When it comes to moving data between systems, even small merchants may need to deal with large order volumes. That is why we consider performance and reliability to be a top priority.

To address this need, Pipe17 uses the latest serverless technology from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that let’s us leverage Amazon’s vast capacity and reliability, on demand.

As a result Pipe17 will never impose limits on your data flow and can scale up to handle large surges in order volume within seconds. To prove this out, we have conducted load tests up to 30,000 orders per minute with no observable degradation in performance. As we grow we will continue to test the limits of our technology and will post our findings on our blog.

Pipe17’s intelligent alerts let you know when there is an order that needs attention. That could be an order stuck at your 3PL, tracking data that isn’t active, an impending stock out or an error in a sales channel that is preventing a clean order flow. Pipe17 has your back, helping you fix and solve issues long before your customer is impacted.
