Manually exporting orders from your ecommerce platform or ERP and importing them into your warehouse system is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale during peak volume periods.
When shipment confirmations and tracking numbers do not flow back to your sales channels in real time, customers receive late notifications and your team fields unnecessary "where is my order" inquiries.
Without automated inventory synchronization from your warehouse to every sales channel, stock levels become inaccurate. This leads to overselling on high-velocity channels and missed sales from phantom stockouts on others.

New orders from Shopify, Amazon, marketplaces, or your ERP are automatically routed to GoFlow for fulfillment. No file exports, no manual uploads, no delays. Orders flow in real time so your warehouse team can pick, pack, and ship faster.
As soon as GoFlow ships an order, tracking numbers and shipment details are automatically sent back to your sales channels and ERP. Customers receive timely shipping notifications and your order records stay accurate without manual updates.
Inventory levels flow in both directions. Pull real-time stock from GoFlow to all connected sales channels to prevent overselling, and push inventory adjustments from your ERP or master inventory source back to GoFlow to keep warehouse availability accurate.

Pipe17's managed GoFlow connector synchronizes orders, shipments, fulfillments, inventory, product master data, and warehouse locations bidirectionally between GoFlow and the rest of your commerce stack. Pipe17 pushes orders from sales channels like Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart Marketplace into GoFlow for fulfillment, pulls back shipment confirmations and tracking numbers in real time, and keeps inventory aligned across every connected system. Brands and 3PLs use the connector to eliminate manual order handoffs and run high-volume marketplace operations without custom code.
Pipe17 connects GoFlow to 300+ pre-built commerce systems through its Managed Commerce Network. Common pairings include ERPs like NetSuite and Acumatica; ecommerce platforms such as Shopify and BigCommerce; and marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, eBay, and TikTok Shop, plus accounting, returns, POS, and data lake destinations. The Pipe17 network is maintained by Pipe17, so adding or swapping a channel does not require engineering work.
Yes, Pipe17 streams inventory updates from GoFlow to every connected sales channel as events occur, with stock typically aligned within 5 minutes across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, and eBay. The connector also pushes inventory adjustments from your ERP or master source back into GoFlow, so warehouse availability stays consistent with your financial system of record. This eliminates the overselling and phantom stockouts that come from batch syncs or inventory leveling tools.
Yes, Pipe17 routes orders from NetSuite, Acumatica, and other ERPs directly into GoFlow for warehouse processing, then returns shipment confirmations, tracking numbers, and fulfillment status back to the originating system. The same connector pulls orders created or managed inside GoFlow into your ERP, accounting platform, or Pipe17 Order Management for invoicing and downstream reporting. Cancellations flow in both directions so a customer cancellation in your ecommerce platform stops the shipment at GoFlow before it ships.
Yes, Pipe17 is built on an event-driven, multi-region AWS architecture with 99.99% uptime and scales to handle millions of orders per day per organization, with no scheduled downtime during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or holiday peak. Order events from Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, and other high-velocity channels propagate into GoFlow as they occur, so your warehouse team can process pick waves continuously rather than waiting on hourly batch files. Pipe17 is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and supports bring-your-own SSO for enterprise security requirements.
Yes, Pipe17 pulls GoFlow's warehouse locations into a single inventory source of truth, then routes each order to the right node using drag-and-drop rules that business users can edit without engineering involvement. The platform supports true omnichannel orchestration including mix-cart, ship-from-store, BOPIS, split fulfillment, and automatic re-routing on rejection. Brands running GoFlow alongside other 3PLs like Radial, ShipBob, or Amazon MCF can allocate volume dynamically based on cost, capacity, or service-level rules.
Yes, Pipe17 brings enterprise-grade EDI with no VAN fees and automated document translation, so EDI and drop-ship orders from retailers like Walmart and Target flow into GoFlow for fulfillment alongside your marketplace and DTC channels. Pipe17 keeps a single inventory source of truth across all of them and returns shipment confirmations, invoices, and tracking to each retailer's compliance requirements. Routing rules decide whether each order ships from GoFlow, another 3PL, or a store, so you can grow big-box and drop-ship programs without adding EDI mapping work for your team.
Yes, Pipe17 handles returns and RMAs as a closed financial loop rather than a one-way feed. When a return is processed, Pipe17 syncs it back to your ERP for the credit memo, refund, restocked inventory, and general-ledger reconciliation in systems like NetSuite and Acumatica, while connecting returns apps such as Loop and Happy Returns. Restocked units update the same inventory source of truth that GoFlow and your sales channels read from, so availability stays accurate the moment a return is received.
Yes, Pipe17 streams order, inventory, and fulfillment data from GoFlow into your system of record and reporting stack as events occur, not in nightly batches. Orders and financial detail flow into NetSuite or your accounting platform for invoicing and reconciliation, and the same normalized data can feed a data warehouse or BI tool through the Managed Commerce Network. Because every connected system reads from one Commerce 360 Data Model™, your GoFlow numbers reconcile with what your ERP, channels, and analytics report.
Pipe17 replaces legacy OMS platforms and custom-built fulfillment integrations through a progressive migration model rather than a multi-month rip-and-replace, so brands begin proving value within weeks while Pipe17 Order Operations sits alongside existing systems. The managed GoFlow connector itself activates in days once credentials are exchanged, and each additional sales channel or ERP added to the Pipe17 network is a configuration change, not a development project. Phased rollouts let enterprise teams transition order operations on their own timeline.
Pipe17 is a modern enterprise Order Management System with commerce connectivity built in, not an iPaaS or middleware layer. The Pipe17 Managed Commerce Network provides 300+ pre-built connectors maintained by Pipe17 (not your team), plus advanced order orchestration, exception management, unified inventory, and a low-code automation engine that an iPaaS or custom build cannot deliver. Compared to an iPaaS plus legacy OMS stack, Pipe17 typically delivers an 85% lower total cost of ownership while removing the engineering burden of building and maintaining brittle point-to-point integrations.
Yes, Pipe17 is event-based rather than batch, so order, inventory, and fulfillment changes propagate from GoFlow to Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, and other connected systems as events occur instead of on a polling schedule. The platform is also AI-native: Pippen AI handles natural language order queries and writes automation code, and the Pipe17 MCP server exposes orders, inventory, and fulfillment data to AI agents in an onX-compliant way. Agentic selling channels connect to GoFlow through Pipe17 just like any other commerce channel.
