Sales systems hub
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A winery types orders from its shop into the shipping system, club charges into the accounting system, and stock counts into everything, by hand, every week.
// What we would build
A small integration hub between the online shop, the point of sale, the shipping provider and the accounting system, so an order, a charge or a stock change is entered once and flows to the rest.
// What is in it
- Orders from the shop and club sent to shipping on their own
- Sales and charges posted to your accounting system
- Stock kept in step between the shop and the point of sale
- A log of every message, with alerts when something fails
- Documented, so the next system is easy to add
// Stack
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- OpenAPI
- Shop, shipping and accounting interfaces
- DigitalOcean
