Kpilote: ETL that connects your CMS to WMS Ego

ETL and its usefulness in logistics

In the world of logistics and e-commerce, data management is essential to ensure a fluid and effective workflow. This is where ETL (Extract, Transform, LOAD) comes in, a type of software for extracting, transforming and loading data between different platforms.

The three stages of ETL: 

• Extraction : ETL recovers data from a source, such as an e-commerce site (Shopify, Prestashop, WooCommerce, etc.).
• Transformation : He adapts this data to the format necessary to be understood by another application, such as warehouse management software (WMS).
• Loading : Finally, he sends this transformed data to the planned destination, guaranteeing a synchronization of information.

The ETL therefore plays an automated translator , making it possible to avoid errors and manual seizures while saving precious time.

Why use ETL in logistics?

• Fluidification of data exchanges : Between e-commerce and WMS systems, the formats and data structures vary enormously.
• Reduction of human errors : less manual input, therefore less transmission errors.
• Save time : Automation allows logisticians to focus on higher added value tasks.
• Simplified implementation : the user has the hand on the implementation of interfaces with new customers, facilitating and thus accelerating the integration of these.
