Supplier Automation

Project Overview

Rad Connections developed a supplier automation engine that connects vendors, distributors, and marketplaces under a single real-time system. Forget manual imports — this system handles everything: stock, pricing, availability, and product creation.

By using cron jobs, scheduled SFTP/FTP pulls, and API integrations, we created a middleware that syncs supplier catalogs automatically — no human required.

Key Features:

• 🔁 Automated CSV/XML/JSON parsing from remote SFTP & APIs
• 📈 Real-time stock & price updates per SKU
• 🔄 Daily catalog refresh with fallback checks
• 🛠️ Supplier-specific logic (margin, rounding, blacklist)
• 🧠 Smart product creation with image+desc mapping
• ⚠️ Error logging & alert system for failed imports

Business Impact:

Clients now manage thousands of SKUs from multiple suppliers with confidence. Updates go live in seconds. Mistakes are auto-flagged. And teams are free to focus on sales — not spreadsheets.
