Connecting systems is easy. Sustaining retail performance at scale is not.
Celigo is a powerful cross-industry integration platform trusted by thousands of businesses to connect SaaS applications.
Patchworks is purpose-built for complex retail environments — where ERP, ecommerce, WMS, marketplaces and peak trading performance must work seamlessly together.
If your integration layer needs to scale with growth, handle peak pressure, and support system change without disruption — the architectural choice matters.

The challenges retail teams are facing
When retail operations become more complex, common symptoms appear:
• ERP and ecommerce start drifting out of sync • Manual workarounds multiply • Peak trading exposes bottlenecks • Adding a new system feels risky • Replatforming raises uncomfortable questions
At this point, integration that isn’t architected for retail complexity becomes a recurring rebuild cycle.
Where Celigo fits
Celigo is a capable cross-industry integration platform. It’s particularly strong for:
✓ Connecting SaaS applications ✓ Deploy integrations quickly across common business tools ✓ Supporting general business system connectivity
Celigo excels at connecting SaaS applications across departments. Retail orchestration introduces a different class of operational dependency.
Retail complexity demands a different approach
Retail environments behave differently. They involve:
ERP as the operational backbone
High-volume order and pricing flows
Real-time inventory across multiple channels
Marketplace synchronisation
Seasonal and peak pressure
Ongoing platform change
In this context, integration is less about connecting apps and more about orchestrating retail operations reliably at scale.
Why Patchworks is built for modern retail
Patchworks is designed specifically for retailers and brands whose growth depends on integration performance.
Built around retail operations
Structured around commerce orchestration across ecommerce platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce and others), ERP, WMS, PIM, marketplaces and finance systems.
