XCONNECT
Seamlessly Connecting Your E-Commerce and Store
Seamlessly Connecting Your eCommerce and Store
XCONNECT brings your e-commerce site and in-store XPOS system together, seamlessly. Any sales made online will be automatically downloaded into your XPOS system, allowing multi-channel visibility from one location. Plus, stock levels and pricing will always be in sync, providing an up-to-the-minute, single view of your business.
Why keep your e-commerce sales separate to your shop business, when XCONNECT will do it for you, in one place? It’s perfect business sense.
“We run an online business alongside our 3 shops. Using XCONNECT to link the e-commerce with the stores means we make huge time savings in stock creation, and means we are more confident when informing customers of items that are in, or out of, stock”
Richard McNeill, E-Commerce Manager - Affordable Golf
Saving You Time and Effort
Any item you create in XPOS can be sent directly to your website, meaning stock items only need to be created once. Used in conjunction with XCODES, you’ll save hours of administration – simply click on the products you want to display, and all that information will get sent to your website. After that, all you need to do is add any extra text or images, and you’re done!
From pricing, stock management and reporting, XCONNECT enables you to manage your product and sales data in one place, avoiding additional man hours and any duplication.
Who Can Use XCONNECT?
XCONNECT is perfect for XPOS customers just venturing into the world of e-commerce.
We’ll provide an API document to your web developer, who’ll set up the XCONNECT link for you. All your products from XPOS can be uploaded via the API. Then, depending on the size of your business, it may just be a couple of hours before you’re up and running.
Whilst e-commerce is the usual partnership for XCONNECT, we do have customers who benefit from using the API in other ways: for example, to extract data for a third-party CRM.
Similarly, you don’t have to be entirely new to e-commerce to enjoy XCONNECT. We can also introduce this powerful API to your existing online business. Be aware that there maybe some work required to move from your existing product set-up to the XCODES database. But, once you’re up and running, you’ll soon benefit from the time savings!
No More Awkward Moments
XCONNECT keeps your website and in-store stock levels in sync, meaning no more awkward moments at point of sale. Once an item has been sold online, XCONNECT adjusts your stock levels in XPOS, giving you, and your customer, accurate, immediate information.
Do you have multiple shops? Choose if you want live stock levels for each site individually, or aggregated across all of your shops.
Manage customer expectations with simple online product creation, correctly-listed items, plus accurate stock levels and pricing across your operations.
Simple Reporting
Enjoy user-friendly reporting to help you make the best buying decisions. XCONNECT sucks data from your online sales back down to XPOS, giving you sales totals from the website, products and categories. What’s more, you can easily separate on-line from bricks & mortar sales.
We’d always recommend running a daily sales report but you can run reports as much, or as little, as you’d like.
