Schedule scripts to run at pre-set time with phpJobScheduler

May 30, 2009 – 5:49 pm

I came across phpJobScheduler when working on site where the hosting company does not allow cron for scheduling jobs. The software is very easy to install and its performance is very impressive. Most importantly phpJobScheduler is free and there is support available through online documentation and forum.

Update Inventory with Supplier’s CSV, Tab, XML Inventory Feed

February 28, 2009 – 2:09 pm

When your supplier provides XML, CSV or tab delimited data feeds of their inventories, the best thing to do is to implement an automated system that can take this feed and use it to update  your store pricing and stock levels. For a small store this can be done manually via Easy Populate easily. However for a mid-size ( up to 500 product) to large store (more than 10,000 products), using Easy Populate to manually load products becomes tedious.

I have develop a system which can handle single or multiple data feeds in any file format to load products into stores from classic oscommerce,  to zen cart, to cre loaded, etc. This a real time inventory feed. The system is easy to use, can be configured to include products attribute option, attribute option values, download product images, and does not need any manual intervention. It effectively gives a store owner the ability to focus exclusive on running the business rather than chasing inventory because of constant update.

This system works with virtual any supplier inventory feed for including Petra, Synnex, Doba, dbldistributing, trademarkcommerce, CNET, Effex Media, Murphysmagic, etc. Contact me today for references and a free consultation on how to implement on your store.
