Ecommerce automation is the process of making manual, tedious, time-consuming business tasks automatic. Ecommerce automation software makes automation possible by connecting business tools, platforms, and apps. Ecommerce automation may be new to your business. But automation as a whole has long been present in our everyday lives. Think as big as machines that assemble cars or as small as electric kettles that turn themselves off. Thanks to automation, these tasks require little to no human interference.
