Integration Principles
We use the following principles for all our integrations, including the SAP Business One and Walmart Seller Central Integration.
Two-way connection
We provide a two-way connection between any two systems that should be synchronized. It is a groundbreaking component of our instruments that partake in the integration. We offer highly-configurable import and export profiles that can be customized according to the demands of any third-party system. You don’t need to set up both functionalities simultaneously since import and export profiles are separated.
Scheduler
Due to a built-in scheduler, you can wholly automate your SAP Business One and Walmart Seller Central integration. We provide the ability to apply different update timetables to import and export processes associated with the same entity. For instance, it is necessary to transmit customer data to SAP B1 weekly:
- Proceed to your export profile and choose weekly updates.
- Next, pick a day of the week and the precise transfer time.
- For providing SAP Business One with the new data before the scheduled, leverage the asynchronous method, launching the profile manually.
- Head to your import profile and apply identical modifications but select daily updates.
Mapping
We also facilitate the way you sync data between any two systems with the help of mapping. Since data updates should always be edited according to the norms of the accepting system, it is necessary to match third-party attributes to the requirements of the native environment. The Firebear team lets you leverage the mapping grid that appears in every import and export profile. You get the ability to create a corresponding mapping scheme matching any attributes to the rules and requirements of the accepting platform.
The instinctive product properties mapping enables importing tables with data to your store from any source, no matter how the columns are named! You can also save and load the mapping profiles for further use. It is useful for recurring import and export processes, just like in the case of the SAP Business One and Walmart Seller Central Integration.
Other features
Our data transfers support multiple connection standards. We provide the ability to utilize data files of different types, including XML, CSX, XLSX, ODS, and Json formats.
We also incorporate Google Sheets into data transfers. Our tools provide the ability to sync all information between your store and this platform. As for other data exchange points, they include Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, FTP/SFTP, and direct URL uploads. Besides, It is possible to create API-based bonds for complex integrations.
