BigCommerce and Sage 100: An Integration That Scales With Your Business
March 17, 2025

When a company is investing in any software, it’s crucial to think about scalability: as the business expands, can the software handle such expansion? Or will your business eventually have to switch systems when it outgrows its current solution? In fact, a scalable solution, though it may require more up-front investment, can be cheaper in the long run since companies won’t have to replace it.
If your business is serious about scalability when it comes to ecommerce, BigCommerce may be the way to go. Both effective and well structured, BigCommerce can vastly improve your company’s ability to complete sales efficiently, access crucial data quickly, customize the shopper’s experience, and integrate easily into existing systems such as Sage 100.
Below, we’ll explore some benefits of BigCommerce—especially when integrated with Sage 100 through our IN-SYNCH solution.
Benefits of Using BigCommerce
1. Efficiency:
BigCommerce automates much of the end-to-end ecommerce process, including purchase orders and receipts, sales orders, invoices, and much more. Real-time, bidirectional data synchronization between Sage 100 and BigCommerce is available through IN-SYNCH, which can automate anything from basic to vastly complex processes.
2. Product and Information Management:
Because BigCommerce is an easy-to-use system, retrieving information on orders, customers, products, and shipments is often just a click away. With a “quick search” bar, a multitude of filters, and customizable groups, searching for information and/or products within BigCommerce can be custom-tailored to your company’s needs quickly and easily.
3. Customization:
BigCommerce offers the flexibility for businesses to customize their shoppers’ experiences in a variety of ways. For example, customizable carts, widgets, and wish lists can all be tailored to your taste, allowing for a more personalized experience for shoppers. Businesses can create subscription apps, recurring orders, and connect users with preferred login systems, ultimately making for an easier and more streamlined experience for online shoppers.
4. Built-in Analytics:
BigCommerce also provides a wide range of built-in marketing tools and analytics to help e-commerce retailers grow. While other platforms require third-party analytics or add-on tools, BigCommerce features its own marketing and analytics enablement that provide data-driven business insights to improve conversion rates.
