Atomix offers powerful data synchronization capabilities across all your connected sales channels. This article explains how Atomix keeps your order and inventory data up-to-date, ensuring smooth operations for your e-commerce business.
How Atomix Synchronizes Data
Order Placement: When customers place orders on any of your connected sales channels, this data is immediately sent to Atomix.
Order Fulfillment: As orders are fulfilled within Atomix, the system automatically updates inventory availability across all connected sales channels.
Synchronization Speed
The speed of data synchronization between Atomix and your sales channels is generally very quick, with most updates occurring within one to two minutes. However, several factors can influence this timing:
High Volume Updates: When there are many SKUs being updated simultaneously or a large number of orders being bulk shipped, the synchronization process may take longer.
API Throttling: To prevent overload and maintain system stability, API requests are throttled. This means that there's a limit to how many requests can be processed at once, ensuring that excessive volume doesn't cause connection issues.
Optimizing for High-Volume Sales
If you're anticipating a high-volume sales day, you can take steps to minimize potential delays:
Temporary Disable Inventory Sync with Atomix: You can choose to rely on your e-commerce platform (e.g., Shopify) to manage inventory during peak times. To disable inventory sync with Atomix contact one of our team members.
Selective Disabling: This option can be enabled for specific products or applied to your entire store, giving you flexibility in your inventory management approach. To enable selective disabling contact one of our team members.
By implementing these strategies, you can help ensure that your sales channels remain responsive and up-to-date, even during periods of intense activity.
Remember, Atomix is designed to handle your e-commerce data efficiently, providing you with a reliable foundation for your online business operations.
