Hand's-Off Operation
FarApp provides an automated solution between Nexternal and various back-end systems, including posting orders directly to drop-shippers. Order-processing and fulfillment-processing take place completely in the background, with no user intervention required. Inventory (quantity-available) posting to Nexternal is also available as an automated process.
Order Processing
Orders are periodically extracted from each Nexternal storefront (multiple storefronts are supported), and saved to the FarApp server. The orders are then transferred to your back-end system in batches, typically every 20 minutes.
Fulfillment Processing
Once an shipment is recorded in your back-end system, the shipment is transferred to the FarApp Server. A shipment notification will be sent to each Nexternal Storefront. We can also post order cancellations, back-orders, or order-posting errors back to Nexternal. Posting frequency is typically every ninety minutes.
Inventory Transfer
If inventory/availability product-data is available on your back-end system (or from your drop-shipper), FarApp can post that data directly to Nexternal. In some cases, where the availability data needs to be manipulated based on business situations, FarApp can calculate the data to post based on a set of "mapping rules" appropriate to your data and situation. Posting frequency varies depending on amount of data, frequency of changes, and your business requirements.
