Integration
Provider:
shopServer International
The shopServer integration module is a generic
tool for integrating shopServer to back-office systems
like ERP or CRM. The module converts any data format to
and from the XML standard used by shopServer, securing
seamless integration and data consistency.
Advantages of integration:
- Integration to any Back-Office system
- Improvement of customer service
- No lost orders in case of line or system failure
- Elimination of errors caused by manual data
processing
- Overall reduction of costs
How does it work:
The integration module is based on e-mails being
sent back and forth between shopServer and the
Back-Office system. A number of dedicated services
monitor ingoing and outgoing e-mails, reformatting
the data files included into any format required.
From the back-office system to shopServer:
The back-office system is set-up to place a file
containing the necessary data in a predefined folder
on the server where the Back-Office system resides.
When spotted by the monitoring service, it is
reformatted to XML and sent to shopServer via an
SMTP server.
From shopServer to the back-office system:
Similarly, shopServer sends e-mails with an XML file
to a POP3 server, where another monitoring service
retrieves the file, converts it into the format
expected by the Back-Office system and places it in
another dedicated folder, from where it is imported.
Options:
The shopServer Integration module is not just a
piece of software transferring data betweens
systems. It's a dynamic and configurable tool for
optimizing the complete data exchange process,
offering:
- Easy installation
- Adjustable frequency of monitor services
- Monitor Services surveillance
- Changeable data formats
- Automatic logging and statistics
- Automatic clean-up
In other words, you won't find a more
flexible tool for exchange of data between
systems.
