Reporting on Amazon orders
Someone recently inquired about the following: "We use a central web-based order manager for orders from our Websites and our Amazon sales. We want to have one place for sales reporting. It is turning out that our developers aren’t able to pull in orders that are generated through Amazon. It simply doesn’t seem to be available through the Amazon API.

Hey Ernie...
A Forum is a lot of work to make active on an organic basis. I applaud you on the idea, but would let it go if not serving it's members, your clients and/or your business significantly.

Ernie,
It's too hard to keep up with the multiple forums and sites blasting email info - I only get to read 10% of what passes through. It seems to me knowledge on ecommerce systems is similar to when you need a plumber. When there's a…

I did expend quite a bit of effort last year, and got a few replies each time (sometimes quite a few). But I saw very little initiative from other members (you were one of the few who did participate pro-actively, and I thank you). I may still hang…

It's actually about $2.00 a member per year. Less than one cup of name-brand coffee for an entire year. I funded it myself when it was <$200 last year, but when the price went up, I thought I would look at the cost-benefit.

Sorry it didn't work out. Thought it was a good idea, but it takes a lot of work to get adequate traffic coming to a Forum like this.
Scott Weaver replied to Ernie Schell's discussion 'Continue This Forum?'
Hey Ernie,
I think this forum, like any forum, is only as valuable as the participation of its members.
You provided several topics and food for thought and got very little feedback. I would hate to see you pull the plug on it, but I…

The Future of the NCOF
Posted by Ernie Schell on April 10, 2011 at 7:51am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I spoke at the National Conference on Operations and Fulfillment (NCOF) last week in Las Vegas. As most of us suspected it would be, attendance was WAY down, and the exhibit hall had only a skeleton representation of about two dozen vendors. Even though I was encouraged by the enthusiasm of the attendees (I spoke to a dozen very interested professionals on the subject of Mobile Commerce -- see Forum post…

Ning to Close Free Sites
Posted by Ernie Schell on April 16, 2010 at 2:00pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
This site is run on the Ning Network, which announced today that it will terminate free usage sites, which includes us, and only support paid sites ($24.95 per month). We will convert to paid status when that becomes official policy, but obviously it will remain totally free to everyone who is a Site Member. I encourage you to continue to visit the site, contribute, comment, etc. In the last few months, few of you have...and if it remains a very quiet space, there is little point in keeping it… Continue
