Client Overview

Our client, a growing e-commerce business, needed a robust solution to streamline product synchronization across multiple online platforms like Shopify and Amazon. Managing product data across various stores manually was inefficient and error-prone, leading to inconsistencies in listings, pricing, and inventory.

To solve this, ProsperaSoft developed a fully serverless e-commerce product sync application, allowing centralized product management with automated updates across multiple platforms. Built on AWS, this solution ensures data consistency, real-time synchronization, and seamless scalability.

Client Challenges

  • Data Consistency Across Multiple Platforms: Ensuring that product data is synchronized and consistent across various e-commerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, Amazon) in real-time, eliminating discrepancies and manual updates.
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlining product management by providing a centralized database and user interface, reducing the complexity of managing products across multiple stores and platforms.
  • Scalability: Handling an increasing volume of products and store associations with a serverless architecture that scales automatically based on demand, ensuring cost-efficiency and performance.
  • User and Role Management: Simplifying user authentication and permission management across different stores using AWS Cognito, allowing for role-based access control to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific actions, such as editing product details or managing store associations.

Key Highlights

Dynamic Filtering:

Filters products by title, barcode, vendor, store, or unassociated status, refining store lists and customer locations.

Role-Based Permissions:

Customizable user permissions via AWS Cognito groups, restricting functionalities like store editing to admin users.

Multi-Store Support:

Centralized product management for seamless updates across multiple e-commerce platforms.

Serverless Architecture:

Fully managed infrastructure using AWS, ensuring scalability, cost efficiency, and high availability.

Shopify Integration:

Comprehensive support for Shopify’s platform, handling everything from products to payments and shipping.

Data Update Workflow:

    Updates in DynamoDB trigger AWS Lambda functions to:
  • Sync data with ElasticSearch for fast querying and UI display.
  • Reflect changes back to respective online stores using store-specific IDs.

User Management and Authentication:

  • Managed via Amazon Cognito for user authentication and authorization.
  • Supports role-based access control (e.g., restricting functionalities to admin users).
  • Users grouped for store-specific permissions.
