In today’s digital world, a company website is crucially important to a business.  No matter the industry, a website is the global ‘storefront’ of your organisation, where consumers receive their first impression of your business, and often, make their decision to proceed or look elsewhere.

It is no surprise that business owners are demanding more and more functionality to be included in their websites. It must look a certain way, have certain features, run at lightning speed and feature first on every search page.

An ecommerce platform needs to have power, speed and the ability to be kept consistently up to date with business-critical information such as stock levels, product and pricing information.

A website does not stand alone. It is part of a wider network of systems that many clients will need to talk to each other in order to maximise the efficiency of a business.  The most common types of systems that an ecommerce website would need to integrate with are CRM systems, accounting and finance systems and stock management systems.

When developing a website, it is important to keep this network of systems in mind.  Rather than just producing a website that meets the clients’ design framework, you also need to bear in mind that, to truly get the most out of their website, it needs to integrate with a multitude of systems.

As a web developer, you are always looking to add additional value to your product stack and the ability to provide integrations for your client does this by expanding what you can offer when developing a website. This could be the difference between successfully winning a client’s business and not.

On the face of it, this may seem like a time-consuming and costly process; however, that does not need to be the case.

Cloud Data Exchange is an entirely cloud-based system integration solution that allows users to connect platforms such as ecommerce websites to business systems including Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite and many more.

By becoming a Cloud Data Exchange partner, you will instantly be able to increase your offering to potential clients by allowing you to provide them with solutions that will exceed their expectations and allow them to achieve their goals.

Ready made plugins are available to connect popular systems such as Amazon, eBay, Freshdesk and Magento to the core business systems giving your clients the seamless integration they require.  These plugins can be set up in minutes giving you more time to focus on the rest of the website.

Cloud Data Exchange can help your clients to transfer data such as stock levels, customers, sales orders and fulfillment.  This can be communicated in real-time, or at fully customisable intervals, with the flexibility to access the module from any device.

The solution suits organisations of all shapes and sizes, able to scale as the business grows.  This means Cloud Data Exchange can cope as more traffic is driven to your client’s website.

For all our Cloud Data Exchange partners, we offer a referral programme, meaning you can generate additional income while also meeting your client’s needs.

As an integration partner, you will also receive support for the integrations, meaning the responsibility for any problems or further development does not have to lie solely with you.
