Solution Design
The integration design for the Source and WAIR For Retail prioritises inventory accuracy by establishing WAIR as the central point for unified stock levels. We commonly use real-time triggers for inventory updates to help prevent overselling, while product data synchronisation from the Source system is typically scheduled to ensure data stability. A primary trade-off involves sync frequency: frequent updates provide the most accurate stock levels but can increase the load on system APIs. We manage this by optimising how stock changes are communicated. This design helps ensure that finance teams can rely on stock figures in the Source system while operations teams work from daily availability in WAIR. This balance reduces the need for manual stock adjustments and helps protect the customer experience.
iPaaS
Cogent2 uses IPaaS to streamline WAIR For Retail integration, enabling seamless data flow and connectivity. Benefits include faster deployment, reduced complexity, enhanced scalability, and real-time data access, empowering agencies and consultants to deliver efficient, innovative solutions with minimal hassle.
Monitoring sync deltas and exception reporting
Standard dashboards can sometimes hide the structural drift that leads to overselling. Effective visibility involves monitoring the delta between the Source and WAIR For Retail at the SKU level. If a product mapping fails or a sync trigger is missed, an inventory discrepancy may go unnoticed until an order cannot be fulfilled. This integration approach is designed to surface exceptions early, including failed SKU synchronisation, incomplete product imports, or inventory level mismatches, allowing the team to see the specific record causing the issue.
Operational handover and data ownership training
Training is focused on the operations and ecommerce teams who manage inventory across sales channels. We provide documentation that outlines how to verify SKU mappings between the Source and WAIR For Retail and how to interpret sync alerts. Finance teams receive guidance on reconciling stock valuations in the Source with inventory movements in WAIR. Handover materials are designed as operational guides rather than technical references, focusing on daily and weekly checks. This approach ensures your team understands how to manage common exceptions, such as mapping errors or sync interruptions, to maintain the accuracy of the integration.
Post-launch governance and inventory data integrity
Following launch, we provide monitoring for the integration between the Source and WAIR For Retail. Support focuses on operational continuity, aiming to detect SKU mismatches or sync delays that may occur during catalogue changes. We work with your team to manage exceptions, helping to ensure that new product mappings remain correct. This management is intended to prevent the drift in inventory accuracy that can occur after an integration is implemented, maintaining the data integrity needed for fulfilment.
