History of IAI Downloader

Being in everyday contact with the owners of retail stores for over a decade, we have noticed a big need of integration with wholesalers' databases. Many companies have complained that when starting cooperation with a new wholesale on-line store, it took their employees weeks to copy the entire catalog of products altogether with their descriptions and pictures. The process of updating the entered offer looked even worse. Retailers had to look for the changes in a wholesaler's offer every day, and then make the necessary alterations in their offer. This was leading to a huge amount of errors, mainly related to offering goods not available in the wholesale store any more. Manual handling of databases including tens of thousands entries made comparing different prices and buying from the cheapest source virtually impossible.IAI Downloader is our response to the problems of integration with suppliers.

Important details

  • Integration based on offer files for price comparison sites is limited to the informational content of these files, therefore, if it's possible, we recommend the integration based on IOF.
  • Support for offer files in CSV and XML format.
  • Changes buffer - the program will update the data of only those products that have been changed in the source (wholesale store), not overwriting the changes made in the edition of products.
  • Ability to backup program data and restore it from a backup file.
