KATI Sportcap & Bags is a wholesale distributor for caps, bags, and accessories. Their website has been a long-term vital sales channel for retailers looking to source high-quality promotional/decorated apparel products.

While WordPress and WooCommerce provided a solid foundation for their online sales platform – WooCommerce lacked native integration with KATI’s back-office system out-of-the-box. KATI needed seamless, bi-directional synchronization, between their e-commerce store and their Oracle backoffice system.

How I Helped

I engineered and programmed a custom integration bridge between WooCommerce and their preexisting Oracle backoffice using PHP, webhooks, and system CRONs to provide the automation they required.

This integration made KATI’s online operations seamless within WooCommerce. Working hand-in-hand with there existing web development team, I eliminated all manual processes and ensured painless synchronization:

• Product SKUs entered into the Oracle back-office would import automatically into WooCommerce.
• Stock levels from the Oracle back-office would synchronize, bi-directional, with the website.
• Orders placed on the website would feed into Oracle APEX back-office automatically.
• Previous customer account order history from the Oracle back-office would display seamlessly within the customer website.

Thanks to this integration, KATI could take advantage of a modern e-commerce framework like WooCommerce, without having to upend their existing back-office processes and operations. This means they could stay focused on growth, customer experience, and seamless wholesale distribution and not on manual processes and headaches.
