Seamlessly Managing a Handcrafted Soap Company: The Route Mandarine Story

25/7/2025

Managing inventory across a retail store, Shopify, and B2B channels—with accuracy and efficiency?

That was the daily challenge faced by Route Mandarine, a handcrafted soap company based in France. Thanks to Erplain, owner Tiphaine Chalaron and administrative & sales assistant Soizic Cuisnier found a solution that matched their ambitions.

Multichannel sales had become too complex

Route Mandarine creates solid soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, and scented candles, selling them through their physical store, online (via Shopify), and to resellers (professional clients).

Before switching to Erplain, they were dealing with several major challenges:

  • A fragmented system between B2B and B2C sales
  • Poor visibility into inventory levels
  • Manual invoicing—time-consuming and error-prone
  • End-to-end traceability

Like many growing artisanal businesses, Route Mandarine needed a solution that was simple yet powerful to help them scale and stay organized.

Erplain: A trusted partner to structure their operations

Since implementing Erplain, Tiphaine and Soizic have completely transformed the way they run the business:

Centralized inventory across their physical store, their online Shopify store, and B2B clients

Improved product traceability with batch numbers and expiration dates

Automated invoicing—faster and error-free

Empowered professional customers with a self-service B2B e-commerce platform, Erplain's B2B Store

The result? Better organization, less stress, and valuable time saved.
