IDS Connect for trades and wholesale

Connect trade business software and wholesale shops for item search and cart exchange while retaining references and units.

For: Plumbing, heating and electrical wholesalers, and providers of trade business software

THE IMPLEMENTATION GOAL

A result you can verify.

The agreed cart returns to the trade application with its line item references preserved and changes traceable.

YOUR STARTING POINT

Three packages. A clear scope.

Choose the step you need. An existing assessment can provide the basis for implementation.

01

Assessment & roadmap

€499.00 one-off

One shop, one trade business application and up to three IDS functions offered by the partner, based on the existing documentation.

  • Technical review based on the documentation you provide
  • Written findings with prioritised next steps and clearly identified open questions
  • One online follow-up session to discuss the results

Fixed price for the stated assessment scope, including 19% VAT. Implementation and third-party fees are separate. An enquiry does not place an order.

02

Implementation & handover

A jointly scoped pilot with agreed systems, examples and acceptance criteria.

  • Check sign-in and supported IDS functions on both sides
  • Set up item search or cart transfer with one partner system
  • Test line item references, changed quantities and return to the trade application

Support & development

  • Technical takeover of the agreed existing solution

What we need to get started

  • Both products, their versions and the relevant contacts
  • Required IDS functions, partner documentation and test items

A description is enough for your first enquiry. We will then agree suitable ways to exchange files and arrange access.

What the scope covers

IDS Connect supports workflows initiated by users. Functionality and availability depend on both systems. Automated procurement and inventory management are excluded.

We check the package against your project. Your enquiry is non-binding; commissioning and scheduling are agreed afterwards.

UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC

IDS Connect: a cart must retain its context.

IDS Connect links trade business software to a wholesaler's shop. A business can research items or exchange carts. ITEK describes functions including shop search, item details and cart transfer.
