Merlin Business Software Website Integration
Looking to build a fast-paced, high quality e-commerce website that integrates with your Merlin Business Software ?
We have extensive experience of integrating Wida Group websites with the Merlin Business Software package, providing a seamless link between the two systems allowing your website to be fully updated with products and accounts as well as querying critical data in real time.
Using the Web Services Tool Set, your website displays the same product data that is held in your Merlin system ensuring that you only have a single source for your data and negating the need to keep two separate channels up to date simultaneously.
A variety of features are available and can be split into products & sales and account management.
Products and Sales:
A twice daily synchronisation allows you to keep an up-to-date inventory on your website. Critical information such as stock and pricing is fetched in real time to ensure 100% accuracy.

Account Management:
