JDT Technologies is a custom Ecommerce software development company, specializing in the complex needs of multi-channel merchants.

We were one of the earliest adopters of the ChannelAdvisor API and have successfully extended the ChannelAdvisor platform for almost ten years, solving a variety of problems, large and small.

Consider the ways in which you can generate a greater return on your ChannelAdvisor investment, while increasing staff efficiency and reducing staff errors.

    Automated seamless data integration with your ERP, inventory system, 3PL, POS, or order management system (OMS) (e.g. Epicor Eclipse, Infor A+, Acumatica, LightSpeed, OrderMotion, GoECart/Pulse Commerce, CoreSense, FishBowl).

    Automated seamless data integration with your Ecommerce (website) platform
    (e.g. Volusion, UniteU, WooCommerce, CommerceV3, Shopify, BigCommerce).

    Automated seamless data integration with drop-ship, just-in-time or regular vendors/suppliers, including EDI, API/XML (REST and SOAP), and FTP integration. (Full support for EDI 850, 846, 852, 856/ASN, etc.)

    Automated seamless data integration with niche marketplaces that ChannelAdvisor does not natively support (e.g. Etsy, GunBroker, Goat Sneakers).

    Automated allocation of orders to the most appropriate supplier , 3PL Fulfillment Center, or warehouse (including split orders), based on your landed costs, customer location, and/or any other custom business rules you want to implement.

    Automated ongoing re-pricing of products based on your cheapest (landed costs) supplier who has available inventory. This is especially useful to merchants who sell sku's from multiple dropship suppliers.

    Customized product/SKU data entry screens, with validations, defaults, and data mappings specific to your business.

    Cleanup of supplier-provided product data. Generate missing parent records in support of parent/child variation data. Strip XML files of non-ascii characters or odd namespaces that cause problems with the ChannelAdvisor XML parser. Convert oversized XML-based data to data files that ChannelAdvisor can process.

    Automated processing of Ebay Markdown Manager to put your products on and off sale and create perceived urgency to buy.

    Demand Planning/Intelligent Purchasing Workbench: Automatic gathering of sales velocity data, available quantity information, open purchase order quantities, etc. all in one place. Have better control and make better purchase and stocking decisions. Monitor inventory value. Adhere to supplier minimums. Take advantage of supplier discounts. Automatically adapt to vendor case/pack quantity requirements. Automatically adjust purchased kit quantities. Fully integrated with EDI/purchase order automation.

    High-speed picking/shipping solutions (including barcode scanning); ensure picking accuracy, automated refunds for out-of-stock situations, etc.

    Support for kits/bundles, (including sales price splits by dollar amount or percentage), providing opportunities for increased selling and greater distinction from your competitors. Automatically re-price case-pack clones based on the price changes of related master sku's. Automatically re-price kits based on changed component prices.

    Use UPS API's to automtically validate and correct shipping addresses. Especially useful before passing orders along to dropshippers.

    Use UPS API's to lookup your negotiated rates for all your products. Thus you can incorporate accurate shipping costs into your repricer rules.

    Validate image URL's. Automate the management of bulk image cleanup, on an ongoing schedule, utilizing the services of Pixelz, aka Remove the Background.

    Real-time HUD (heads-up display), Sales/Profitability Dashboard, incorporating revenue(product and shipping), COGS, marketplace fees, true landed costs data using real shipping cost(local shipping, dropship supplier, and FBA). Receive email alerts for below-cost or below-desired-margin sales. Benefit from FIFO Product Cost instead of profit loss distortions caused by changing Cost values. Gain real-time visibility into your profits and any pricing problems that require immediate attention.

    Advanced analytics and/or Excel data exports, giving you access to all your marketplace data, free to visualize it in your own way. Automated Feeds to Zoho Reports and other BI tools.

    Full end-to-end support for Amazon SFP (Seller Fulfilled Prime) - Buy Shipping API.

    Support for Amazon Custom Products (customization details).

Some of the largest merchants running on the ChannelAdvisor platform use our robust and reliable ChannelAdvisor solutions to handle their high-volume integration needs.
