AestheticSource Streamlined Its Data Workflow with Webkul
AestheticSource is a leading distributor of advanced skin health products. The brand is trusted by clinics, dermatologists, and skincare professionals across the UK. Their online store isn’t just a place to buy products; it’s a vital hub that connects practitioners with world-class cosmetic brands and treatments.
But with growth, complexity arises in managing their data between Shopify and Salesforce. The team faced challenges in keeping records in sync across two platforms. It resulted in reducing the customer experience, and the leaders knew it was time for a smarter, connected system.
The Challenges of AestheticSource
AestheticSource needed their e-commerce platform to work hand-in-hand with Salesforce, their CRM platform. They weren’t just looking for a simple integration—they wanted data accuracy, automation, and transparency.
Their challenges were clear:
- Order Creation Gap: The orders created in Shopify weren’t flowing into Salesforce. They wanted their Shopify orders to be linked with the correct Account and Contact and marked as “Draft”.
- Status Updates Out of Sync: Completed orders at the Salesforce end were not updated at the Shopify end. This created confusion for teams who had to update statuses.
- Inventory Mismatch: Salesforce carried “Available Stock Level” for each product, but Shopify didn’t pull this data. The inventory displayed online didn’t always match the real stock, which risks overselling.
- Misalignment in SKU: Products needed to be tracked accurately at the SKU level. Without proper SKU mapping, order line items could mismatch, leading to fulfillment issues.
- Disconnected Payments: Payment terms in Salesforce weren’t syncing with Shopify orders. It created inconsistencies between contracts and invoices.
A Vision for Accuracy, Automation & Growth
The company sought a customized solution for its e-commerce and CRM systems, enabling them to communicate with each other. Their goals were clear:
- Orders flow into Salesforce automatically with correct links to Accounts and Contacts.
- Salesforce is driving fulfillment updates back into Shopify in real time.
- Inventory levels are always in sync, so customers see exactly what’s in stock.
- SKUs match perfectly between platforms for error-free fulfillment.
- Payment terms are consistent across both systems.
- A unified customer record that ties every order and invoice to the right business entity.
In short, automation, reliability, and alignment—all without adding manual work to the team.
