The Challenge

The Challenge: Disconnected Walmart Marketplace Sales & TIMS Operations

Operating a successful Walmart Marketplace store while managing an on-premise or cloud TIMS ERP often creates significant operational hurdles. Manual data transfer, delayed updates, and disparate systems lead to inefficiencies, errors, and missed opportunities.

  • Manual Order Entry: Transcribing Walmart orders into TIMS is time-consuming, prone to human error, and delays fulfillment.
  • Outdated Inventory: Lagging inventory synchronization between TIMS and Walmart leads to overselling, backorders, and frustrated customers.
  • Inconsistent Product Data: Keeping product listings, descriptions, and pricing consistent across TIMS and Walmart requires constant, tedious updates.
  • Complex Financial Reconciliation: Matching Walmart payments and returns to TIMS invoices and GL entries is a labor-intensive, error-prone process.
  • Lack of Real-time Visibility: Without integrated data, gaining a consolidated view of sales performance, inventory health, and financial standing is nearly impossible.

Technical Integration: Connecting TIMS and Walmart Marketplace

The integration leverages a robust iPaaS to facilitate secure, scalable, and efficient data exchange between TIMS and Walmart Marketplace. This section details the technical aspects of connectivity, data flow, and architectural considerations.

Data Flow Steps

API Connectivity: Establish secure connections to TIMS and Walmart Marketplace using OAuth 2.0 and API keys.

Event Listener/Polling: Configure the iPaaS to either listen for webhooks from Walmart (for new orders/returns) or intelligently poll APIs for changes in TIMS (inventory, products).

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data entities (e.g., Walmart Orders, TIMS Inventory) from source systems.

Data Transformation & Mapping: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping engine to transform and harmonize data schemas between TIMS and Walmart, leveraging AI for assistance.

Business Logic & Validation: Apply custom business rules, conditional logic, and AI-driven validation checks to ensure data quality and compliance.

Target System Update: Push the transformed and validated data to the appropriate API endpoint in the target system (e.g., create a Sales Order in TIMS, update inventory on Walmart).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and centralized monitoring for all integration flows.

Status & Feedback Loop: Send status updates back to the source system or relevant stakeholders (e.g., shipment tracking to Walmart, order confirmation to TIMS).

Data Touchpoints

Walmart Orders (New, Status Updates)
TIMS Sales Orders (Creation, Status, Line Items)
TIMS Inventory (QuantityOnHand, QuantityAvailable)
Walmart Inventory (Quantity)
TIMS Product/Item (SKU, Name, Description, Price, Attributes)
Walmart Item (SKU, Name, Description, Price, UPC, Category)
TIMS Customer (Creation, Updates)
Walmart Customer (Order-associated details)
TIMS Shipment/Fulfillment (Tracking, Carrier, Status)
Walmart Shipment (Tracking, Carrier, Status)
Walmart Returns (New, Status)
TIMS Invoices (Generation, Payment Application)
TIMS Payments (Recording, Reconciliation)

"A central iPaaS platform acts as the integration hub. Data flows bi-directionally. New orders originating from Walmart Marketplace are ingested by the iPaaS, transformed, and pushed to TIMS as Sales Orders. TIMS, as the ERP, manages inventory, product master data, and financial processes. Updates from TIMS (e.g., inventory changes, shipment confirmations, product/price updates) are then processed by the iPaaS and pushed back to Walmart Marketplace. Returns and refunds also flow from Walmart through the iPaaS to TIMS for processing."

Data Mapping

Harmonized Data Entities & Field-Level Mappings

Effective integration relies on precise mapping and transformation of data entities between TIMS and Walmart Marketplace. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas for this, supported by AI to ensure data consistency and accuracy across systems.

Order / Sales Order

Represents a customer's purchase. Walmart's 'Order' is the source, transformed into TIMS 'Sales Order' for fulfillment and accounting.

TIMS & Walmart Marketplace: Fields

SalesOrderID (Internal) ExternalOrderID (from Walmart purchaseOrderId) CustomerID OrderDate ShipDate Status TotalAmount LineItems (Product SKU, Quantity, UnitPrice, Tax) ShippingMethod BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms

Boost Sales & Efficiency Fields

purchaseOrderId customerOrderId orderDate orderStatus shippingInfo (name, address, phone) orderLines (lineNumber, productName, sku, quantity, unitPrice, taxAmount) paymentInfo

Mapping Notes

Walmart `purchaseOrderId` is critical for linking to TIMS `ExternalOrderID`. `orderLines` map to TIMS `LineItems`, requiring SKU matching. `shippingInfo` maps to TIMS `ShippingAddress` and `BillingAddress` if applicable. `orderStatus` maps to TIMS `Status`.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /api/v1/sales_orders Creates new sales orders in TIMS. Used for ingesting Walmart orders.
GET /api/v1/sales_orders/{id} Retrieves specific sales order details. Used for status verification or updates.
PUT /api/v1/inventory/{sku}/quantity Updates inventory levels for a specific SKU. Critical for real-time stock sync.
GET /api/v1/inventory/{sku} Retrieves current inventory levels for a SKU. Used by iPaaS to get TIMS stock.
POST /api/v1/customers Creates new customer records in TIMS. Used for new Walmart buyers.
GET /api/v1/products Retrieves product catalog details. Used for syncing TIMS product master to Walmart.
POST /api/v1/payments Records incoming payments in TIMS. Used for reconciling Walmart payouts.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Data Type Coercion: Convert string representations of numbers/dates from one system to the required format of the other.
  • Field Concatenation/Splitting: Combine Walmart customer name fields into TIMS full name, or split TIMS address into street/city/state for Walmart.
  • Lookup Tables: Map Walmart carrier codes to TIMS internal carrier IDs, or Walmart product categories to TIMS categories.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply specific tax codes or shipping methods based on order value or destination from Walmart.
  • Calculated Fields: Derive 'available-to-sell' inventory for Walmart from TIMS's 'quantity on hand' minus 'committed quantity'.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • TIMS API Unavailable: iPaaS retries with exponential backoff; if persistent, alerts are sent, and messages are routed to a DLQ.
  • Walmart Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS dynamically throttles requests, queues messages, and retries when capacity is available.
  • Invalid Data Format: Data fails validation during transformation. AI suggests corrections, or message is quarantined for manual review.
  • SKU Not Found in TIMS: Order line item fails to map. Error is logged, and the specific line item (or entire order) is sent to DLQ for reconciliation.
  • Duplicate Record Attempt: Idempotent API calls prevent duplicates. If not supported, iPaaS checks for existing records before creation.
