Amazon and Ebay Ecommerce Integration
The Distribution365 solution uses the web site as a hub where we download/upload orders/courier data between Amazon and eBay using their API's and communicate with a back-office, logistics, fulfilment centre via XML to co-ordinate the proceses. We poll Amazon and eBay regularly to collate orders, then twice a day courier, tracking data, etc is pushed back up and on to the customer so they can monitor the order progress.
We have built in exception monitoring and send out emails to support staff if anything is detected or data does not look correct. We have an interactive dashboard where admin users can query the API's in real time to do one off checks or just see how the order profile is looking.
Timing is crucial as eBay and Amazon set hard targets for suppliers in terms of data updates to the customer.
No.1 ecommerce website - Andrew Strain
No.1 Traveller
www.no1traveller.com
Ecommerce website serving 6 major UK Airports.
We contracted Impact to help us develop an ecommerce website offering executive lounge services at Heathrow, Gatwick & Stansted. Impact assisted in writing the functional specification and developed the ecommerce store from scratch. Over time we have enhanced the website to now take bookings for everything from lounge access to limousine hire, and airside bedrooms to spa services. This website queries real-time availability using web API's and pushes bookings through to the relevant airport lounges, plus distributes messaging to all appropriate services eg concierge, beauty therapists etc. There are also affiliate tracking systems and dynamic discount code features.
This project has involved some complex problem solving and development and we have always found Andy more than capable of delivering a solution that has met our needs, timeline and budget.
I have always found Impact to be prompt in communications, available to discuss any ideas or issues that we’ve had, and they have often gone the extra mile by making changes to our website and epos systems in the early hours of the morning so as to minimise disruption to our executive lounges.
