Integration Fabric That Goes Beyond Basic Connectivity

Most integrations move data from one system to another but leave your team handling acknowledgements, changes, exceptions and updates manually. Shep closes those gaps by automating the complete order-to-cash workflow.

WHY SHEP

From a Fragmented Back Office
to a Unified Strategy

Stop treating every new integration as a custom engineering project. Shep provides a managed, reusable foundation for your entire order fulfillment ecosystem, replacing fragile custom code with a scalable operational blueprint.

Map
The Traditional Way: Point-to-Point

Connection-Specific: Locks your field mappings, business rules, and data transformations within a single, isolated connection. This eliminates reusability, and forces your business to start from scratch with every new customer or retail partner.

The Shep Fabric Way: Common Data Model

Centralized & Reusable: Our platform creates a standardized, intelligent workflow for core business processes like orders and invoices. By mapping your system fields to our platform once, you unlock powerful, reusable business rules that can be deployed across every future integration.

WHY SHEP

Traditional Integration Pains

Slow ERP

Poor ERP performance due to customized fields and tables for every integration.

Errors & Chargebacks

Fragmented integrations causing data flow & accuracy issues that lead to fines.

Multi-Year ERP Migrations

Coupled integrations require full integration rebuild when switching ERPs.

Human Intervention

Disconnected order fulfillment integrations require human intervention.

Tribal Knowledge

Unique integrations create customer-specific processes and checklists known by few.

Long ERP Upgrades

Too many integration points to the ERP slows down version-upgrade testing.

Checking Multiple Systems

Lack of common operations requires ‘systems jumping’ to determine order status.

Slow Vendor Support

Weeks/months to fix critical errors due to unique customer integrations.

WHY SHEP

What Is Your Current Integration Still Making You Do?

Getting systems connected is only part of the job. If your team still has to step in manually to keep orders moving, there is more that can be automated. With Shep, you can reduce the manual work across the order to cash process, including:

Entering or rekeying orders

Orders can flow directly into the systems your team already uses.

Sending order acknowledgements

Acknowledgements can be created and sent automatically as orders move through the workflow.

Processing order changes

Updates can move between customers and internal systems without your team re-entering information

Updating shipment information

Shipping details can flow automatically to the systems and trading partners that need them

Sending invoices

Invoice data can be sent through the appropriate EDI or customer workflow automatically

Managing exceptions

Give your team visibility into issues that need attention instead of making them search across multiple systems

Checking multiple systems

Bring order activity and status into one place so your team spends less time jumping between tools.

The result

Your team spends less time chasing orders and completing repetitive tasks and more time focused on customers and higher-value work.
