Multi-Layered eCommerce and Supply Chain
Integration for Vivobarefoot
Client Overview
Vivobarefoot is a globally recognized footwear brand built around sustainability and minimalism. With a strong eCommerce presence across its own digital channels and major marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, the company supports both direct-to-consumer and wholesale operations worldwide.
To support its growing global footprint, Vivobarefoot relied on NetSuite as its ERP, alongside multiple eCommerce platforms and several third-party logistics (3PL) providers operating custom Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
Business Objective
Vivobarefoot’s primary objective was to connect NetSuite with multiple Warehouse Management Systems to ensure automatic synchronization of inbound and outbound transactions across the entire supply chain.
Key goals included:
- Real-time stock alignment between NetSuite and WMS
- Seamless integration with multiple 3PL providers via SFTP
- Eliminating duplicate stock holdings within warehouse facilities
- Improving reporting accuracy between ERP and WMS
- Enabling scalable integrations that could be quickly extended to new 3PL partners
- Providing a low-code, maintainable integration framework for a lean internal IT team
The long-term vision was to build a resilient, multi-layered eCommerce supply chain architecture that could evolve without disrupting fulfillment operations.

Challenges
Disconnected 3PL and ERP Systems
Warehouse Management Systems were integrated with eCommerce platforms but not directly with NetSuite, leading to fragmented visibility.
Stock Misalignment
Lack of synchronization caused discrepancies between WMS and ERP inventory data.
Inefficient Warehouse Processes
Multiple stock holdings in the same facility and manual adjustments in NetSuite increased operational overhead.
Delayed Transaction Reporting
Inbound and outbound transaction updates between WMS and ERP were not real-time.
Scalability Constraints
Adding or changing 3PL partners risked disrupting the broader fulfillment ecosystem.
