Automated Warehouse Integration for Accente.

Accente International is known for long-standing expertise in Asian markets and innovative product development in the fields of fireplaces and BBQs. aurebus consulting digitalized Accente’s spare parts logistics and implemented a fully integrated end-to-end process chain connecting Shopify, Xentral, and an external warehouse via the SEEBURGER BIS platform.

Key facts

• Customer: Accente
• Project: Digitalization and warehouse integration for the spare parts business

Initial situation

Accente previously handled its spare parts business using established but largely manual processes. Orders were received by email or phone. Employees created orders in Xentral, generated delivery notes, and maintained shipping information separately in Excel files for the external warehouse. This setup was reliable but required increased coordination during peak periods. In season, up to 50 spare parts orders are processed per day. The goal was to optimize processes, reduce lead times, and integrate the warehouse directly into the digital process chain.

The solution

aurebus consulting designed an end‑to‑end, API‑based system architecture.

Spare parts shop on Shopify
Orders are transferred directly to the Xentral ERP system without manual input.

Warehouse integration via SEEBURGER BIS
Xentral generates delivery notes. The SEEBURGER BIS platform retrieves the data via API and automatically creates outbound delivery orders in the warehouse system. The warehouse starts processing immediately.

Automatic return of tracking data
The SEEBURGER BIS platform reads all completed shipments from the warehouse system on a daily basis and transfers the tracking information to Xentral. Shopify displays this data directly in the customer account.

Modern MFT solution
The cloud‑based MFT platform ensures stable, secure, and scalable data exchange between all involved systems.

Results

• The digitalized process chain significantly strengthens Accente’s operations.
• Manual data entry is eliminated. The process from order to shipment is fully automated.
• The team is relieved during peak order volumes. Error‑prone data transfers are reduced. Tracking information is automatically available to end customers, improving transparency in communication.
• The warehouse system automatically detects faulty orders and reports them to Accente’s sales team, enabling fast clarification.

With the automated warehouse integration, Accente has significantly simplified its spare parts logistics.

Orders, shipping, and tracking now run end to end and transparently, without manual coordination”.
