About the Client

They began as a small family-run storefront, grew over 15 years into a full-service outdoor cooking retailer offering grills, smokers, accessories, and gourmet ingredients. They focus on quality—from handcrafted, professional-grade smokers to curated sauces, rubs, and tools—and support their community through educational content like recipe videos and in-store events. 

The Challenge

A leading omnichannel retailer of grills, accessories, and premium meats, needed a digital commerce experience as polished as their brand. Their team decided to migrate from Magento to Shopify for a modernized eCommerce experience, but a key obstacle remained: synchronizing over 12,000 complex SKUs, including matrix and weight-based items, across NetSuite, Shopify, and their point-of-sale system.

Without robust integration, the team struggled with:
• Manual updates to item data across multiple systems
• Inefficient order fulfillment workflows for retail, BOPIS, and delivery
• Operational friction that prevented true omnichannel commerce

The Solution

To solve these challenges, this retailer partnered with The Vested Group to deliver a custom-built integration using the Celigo iPaaS platform. While standard connectors fell short, especially with the need to support fractional units for meat products,The Vested Group built tailored flows that reflected the client's real-world operations.

Key Capabilities Delivered:

Custom “sold by the pound” support for meat and weight-based products.
Streamlined omnichannel workflows to support BOPIS, ship-from-store, and in-store POS.

Real time updated between NetSuite and Shopify for:
- Customers
- Orders
- Fulfillments
- Inventory Levels
- Mass Product Updates

The Results

The impact was immediate and strategic.

  • Eliminated manual data entry for 12,000+ items
  • Improved order accuracy and fulfillment speed
  • Delivered real-time visibility across all channels
  • Reduced overhead by automating inventory and order sync
  • Gave customers a seamless, branded experience wherever they shop

Most importantly, this retailer now has a commerce foundation built to scale. They’re already planning new retail locations and exploring additional product lines, confident that their systems, and their Shopify-powered experience, can grow with them.
