Magento UK Development

Although Magento has a fantastic number of features for everyone to play with – that’s not where the fun stops. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many amazing ready-to-go facilities you have at your disposal, you can’t help but want something a little more personal.

We’ve recently created several customised features for the Magento system. For the guys at Fun4Kids.co.uk, we built a batch shipping system that allowed them to view all paid, but unshipped orders.

This bespoke facility then ships either individual items or the entire order (or even a specific quantity) as a batch process rather than having to go into each order individually. So you can imagine the huge amount of time and resources this process saves when dispatching orders.

We’re also currently working on a complex import system for the website Megafit.com. This facility will enable Magento to read data feeds from a supplier including all product prices, product descriptions, images, stock and categories.

This process can be especially difficult; supplier information won’t necessarily be available in a standardised format (i.e. broken/invalid XML etc) as was the case in this example. We had to write code that would clean-up this data first, generating usable information that could then be imported to work within the Magento system automatically.

Again this resource is set to save our client a huge amount of time and money when it comes to data entry and when launching the website ready for sales.

So there we have it – you don’t have to just play the cards you’re dealt; if the grass could be greener then why not build yourself a custom Magento bridge straight to it.
