Ecommerce success isn’t getting easier, it’s getting more complex.

In 2026, brands are facing:
• More competition
• More channels
• Tighter margins

But behind the scenes, many are still:
• Spreading efforts too thin
• Relying on guesswork instead of data
• Struggling to scale efficiently

The result? Growth becomes harder to sustain.

The businesses that succeed aren’t doing everything, they’re focusing on what works, optimising continuously, and building operations that can scale.

If you’re looking to grow your ecommerce business in 2026, it starts with getting the fundamentals right.

Manual processes don’t scale - yet many brands still rely on them.

In 2026, eCommerce operations are more complex than ever:
• More channels
• More data
• Higher customer expectations

But behind the scenes, many teams are still:
• Updating stock manually
• Switching between systems
• Fixing errors instead of preventing them

The result? Growth creates friction instead of efficiency.

The brands that scale successfully are opting to remove these operational bottlenecks.

If things feel harder behind the scenes than they should, it might be time to rethink how your processes are set up.

Is 2026 the right time to re-evaluate your ERP software?

ERP isn’t just for large enterprises anymore. In 2026, modern ERP platforms are far more flexible, integration-friendly and relevant for growing SME eCommerce brands.

How ERP has changed

• Integrates with marketplaces, webstores and fulfilment partners
• Modular and scalable (adopt only what you need)
• Automates repetitive tasks
• Provides real-time visibility across orders, stock and suppliers

Why brands are re-evaluating ERP in 2026

• Multichannel sales strategies are more prominent and therefore operations are more complex
• Manual processes don’t scale
• Systems are expected to 'talk' to each other
• Visibility matters as much as sales volume

ERP systems allow growth by removing friction. If your setup feels more complex behind the scenes than it should, 2026 may be the right time to reassess whether your current tools are still fit for purpose.

ERP software isn’t just for large enterprises anymore - and 2026 could be a smart time for SME eCommerce brands to re-evaluate it.

Modern ERP systems are far more flexible and practical than they used to be. Today, they’re built to integrate with existing platforms, support automation, and help connect orders, inventory, suppliers, fulfilment and finance into one clear operational view.

Why it matters now:
• eCommerce operations are getting more complex (more channels, suppliers, partners)
• Manual processes don’t scale as order volumes grow
• Systems are expected to “talk to each other” as standard
• Visibility across the business matters as much as sales volume

ERP doesn’t create growth on its own - but it does remove friction. For many growing brands, it becomes relevant when manual work, disconnected tools and limited visibility start holding progress back.

If things feel more complex behind the scenes than they used to, it might be time to ask whether your current setup is still fit for purpose: https://www.volocommerce.com/explore/news/erp-software-for-small-medium-ecommerce-businesses/

OnBuy is surging - and yes, we should pay attention.

Recent data shows that OnBuy’s European presence is growing fast: +30% month-on-month growth reported since their continental rollout. OnBuy has recently expanded across multiple EU markets, delivering strong sales momentum and putting itself firmly on the radar of sellers looking beyond the giants.

✅ Why this might be of interest to you:

• A growing marketplace with less saturation than the bigger players.

• Pan-Europe coverage - you can reach new markets without separate setup for each country.

• OnBuy positions itself as a “pure marketplace,” meaning they don’t compete with their own sellers.

If you want a practical guide to getting started, check out our resource: Selling on OnBuy: https://www.volocommerce.com/explore/blog/selling-on-onbuy/

For SMEs looking to diversify their channel mix - especially ahead of 2026 - OnBuy might be worth a second look.
