Automatically update online shop with stock levels from Sage 200
As well as supplying timber to trade and domestic customers through their dedicated sales teams, Russwood sell a wide range of decking, flooring and cladding accessories from their ecommerce website.
The Challenge:
Russwood run the financial side of their operations on Sage 200, implemented and supported by Eureka Solutions. As the online side of the business was growing, staff were spending increased amounts of time manually keeping Sage 200 updated with sales orders generated by the website, and likewise keeping stock levels on the website up to date with actual current stock levels contained within Sage 200.
The Solution:
Via their Account Manager at Eureka Solutions, Russwood were made aware of Cloud Data Exchange as a solution. The team proposed that a customised stock level integration from Sage 200 to their ecommerce website would be created using Cloud Data Exchange via an API from the website. In addition, a sales order integration, sending sales orders from the website to Sage 200 via a CSV file from an FTP site was created.
The sales order integration from website to Sage 200 is scheduled to run automatically every 20 minutes, while the stock level import from Sage 200 to the website runs at specific times, six times per day.
The combination of both integrations means that the time processing website orders in Sage 200 is reduced as the requirement for manual input has been eliminated. As well as saving time, now that data transfer between Sage 200 and the website is automated, the risk of keying errors has been removed.
Having the systems in sync with each other also ensures that Russwood customers receive accurate information via the website as to which products are in stock, which avoids disappointing customers and improves customer retention.
