Sage Line 50 API Integration for Ecommerce
Blumac Digital developed a custom Sage Line 50 integration using third-party API software hosted on our secure AWS infrastructure. The solution synchronises product data, pricing and stock levels between Sage 50 Accounts and an ecommerce website, while automatically pushing sales invoices into Sage when orders are placed.
The brief
The challenge
Our client needed a robust integration between their ecommerce platform and Sage Line 50 desktop software. Unlike cloud-based accounting systems, Sage 50 runs locally, requiring specialised API software to bridge the connection. The client needed real-time product data synchronisation and automated invoice creation without manual intervention.
Why bespoke?
Sage Line 50 runs on desktop, not in the cloud, making integration more complex than web-based accounting systems. Our bespoke solution overcame this challenge by hosting specialised API software on our secure AWS infrastructure, creating a seamless bridge between Sage 50 and the web.
What it delivered
Operational Efficiency
The integration streamlined the management of product data and order processing, allowing the client to focus on core business activities. This improved overall operational efficiency.
Accurate Data Management
By automating the synchronisation of product data and the transfer of sales invoices, the risk of human error was minimised. This ensured that both the ecommerce platform and Sage Line 50 maintained accurate records.
Enhanced Customer Experience
Customers benefited from real-time product availability and accurate pricing information, leading to a more reliable shopping experience.
Improved Financial Tracking
The automatic creation of sales invoices in Sage Line 50 provided the client with timely and accurate financial records, facilitating better financial management and reporting.
Our solution
What we built
Bespoke Sage Line 50 API Integration for Website and OMS
API Software Installation
We installed the third-party API software on the Sage Line 50 server, facilitating a reliable connection for data synchronisation.
Syncing Price and Stock Levels
The integration ensured that product data, including pricing and stock levels, was continuously synced between Sage Line 50 and the ecommerce website. This guaranteed that the website always displayed the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Pushing Sales Invoices
When an order was placed on the ecommerce website, the integration automatically pushed the sales invoice to Sage Line 50. This automation eliminated the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and saving time.
Secure Data Transfer
The use of third-party API software ensured that all data transfers between the ecommerce website and Sage Line 50 were secure and compliant with industry standards
Hosted on secure AWS infrastructure
The specialised API software runs on our own secure AWS infrastructure, giving a desktop package a reliable route to the web.
Bridging desktop to web
Sage Line 50 runs locally rather than in the cloud, so the integration exists to bridge that gap without manual intervention.
