Connect Global Shop Solutions and Act-on

Connecting Global Shop Solutions and Act-on for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of relevant business or customer data between the manufacturing management system and marketing automation platform. This could support more informed marketing campaigns, data-driven decision-making, and improved alignment between production operations and marketing initiatives.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Global Shop Solutions and Act-on around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Global Shop Solutions and Act-on?

A company that runs both Global Shop Solutions and Act-on could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange. Such a connection could help ensure that information remains consistent across both platforms, supporting more accurate reporting and better-informed business decisions. Without this connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data into each system, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Additionally, records could drift apart as updates made in one system are not reflected in the other, leading to discrepancies that can affect planning, customer service, and compliance. Decisions based on outdated or incomplete data can undermine operational effectiveness and strategic planning. In cases where companies use both a manufacturing ERP like Global Shop Solutions and a marketing automation platform like Act-on, the kinds of data that could be exchanged include customer and contact information, order histories, and marketing campaign responses. This exchange could help ensure that marketing efforts are informed by the latest operational data and that sales and production teams have visibility into customer engagement and feedback. However, what can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Global Shop Solutions and Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
