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.

The Future of the NCOF

Posted by Ernie Schell on April 10, 2011 at 7:51am 0 Comments

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

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
