TIMS Wayfair Integration: Technical Overview

This integration is designed as an event-driven, API-first solution orchestrated by a robust iPaaS platform, ensuring real-time data synchronization and high reliability between TIMS ERP and the Wayfair marketplace.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Establishment: Secure OAuth 2.0 authentication for both TIMS and Wayfair APIs.

Event Listener/Polling: iPaaS continuously monitors Wayfair for new orders, returns, and customer updates via webhooks or efficient polling. Simultaneously, it listens for TIMS inventory changes, shipment updates, and financial events.

Data Extraction: Relevant data is extracted from the source system (e.g., Wayfair Order details, TIMS Inventory levels).

Data Transformation & Harmonization: The iPaaS's visual mapping engine transforms the extracted data to match the target system's schema, handling data type conversions, value lookups, and custom business logic. AI assists in suggesting optimal mappings.

Data Validation: Incoming data is validated against predefined business rules and TIMS's data requirements to prevent errors. AI flags anomalies.

Data Ingestion: The transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system via its respective API endpoint (e.g., creating a Sales Order in TIMS, updating inventory in Wayfair).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Automated retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts ensure robust error management. Centralized dashboards provide end-to-end visibility.

Status Updates: Confirmation and status updates (e.g., TIMS Sales Order ID, Shipment Tracking) are pushed back to the originating system (Wayfair) to complete the loop.

Data Touchpoints

Wayfair Order -> TIMS Sales Order
Wayfair OrderLineItem -> TIMS Sales Order Line Items
Wayfair Product -> TIMS Product/Item (for matching and enrichment)
TIMS Inventory Item/Stock -> Wayfair Inventory
Wayfair Customer -> TIMS Customer
TIMS Shipment/Fulfillment -> Wayfair Shipment
Wayfair PaymentTransaction -> TIMS Payment/Invoice
Wayfair Refund -> TIMS Invoice/Credit Memo/General Ledger Entry

"Wayfair (New Order/Return) -> iPaaS (Extract, Transform, Validate) -> TIMS (Create Sales Order/Update Inventory/Post Payment) -> iPaaS (Extract Shipment/Inventory) -> Wayfair (Update Order Status/Inventory). Bi-directional flow for Customer and Product data."

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for TIMS Wayfair Integration

The integration focuses on harmonizing core business entities crucial for eCommerce operations and financial management. Our iPaaS provides visual, AI-assisted mapping to bridge the schema differences between TIMS and Wayfair.

Customer

Synchronizes customer details to ensure a unified customer profile across sales and accounting.

Wayfair Fields

CustomerID (TIMS internal) ExternalID (from CRM/eCommerce) CompanyName/FirstName LastName Email Phone BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms CreditLimit

TIMS Fields

customerId firstName lastName email phone shippingAddresses billingAddresses

Mapping Notes

Wayfair's `customerId` can be mapped to TIMS `ExternalID`. Address fields require careful sub-field mapping and potential address standardization rules. Deduplication logic is critical based on email or `ExternalID`.

Wayfair Order to TIMS Sales Order Automation

When a customer places an order on Wayfair, the integration automatically pulls the order details, transforms them into the TIMS Sales Order format, and creates a new Sales Order in TIMS. This triggers inventory allocation and fulfillment processes.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Wayfair Order Created (Event Trigger)
  2. 1 iPaaS retrieves Order details via Wayfair API/Webhook.
  3. 2 iPaaS maps Wayfair 'Order' to TIMS 'Sales Order' and 'OrderLineItem' to 'Sales Order Line Items'.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates new 'Customer' in TIMS if not existing, or updates existing.
  5. 4 iPaaS creates 'Sales Order' in TIMS via `/api/v1/sales_orders` endpoint.
  6. 5 TIMS processes the Sales Order, allocating 'Inventory Item/Stock'.
  7. 6 Shipment details from TIMS are updated back to Wayfair.

Business Outcome

Instantaneous order processing, reduced manual data entry by 100%, faster order-to-shipment cycle.

General FAQs

▸ What are the primary benefits of integrating TIMS with Wayfair?
The primary benefits include automated Wayfair order processing, real-time inventory synchronization to prevent overselling, streamlined financial reconciliation in TIMS, unified customer data management, and faster, more accurate fulfillment processes. It significantly reduces manual effort and errors.

Workflow FAQs

▸ How does the integration handle Wayfair order fulfillment in TIMS?
When a new order is placed on Wayfair, our iPaaS automatically captures the order details, transforms them, and creates a corresponding Sales Order in TIMS. This initiates TIMS's standard fulfillment workflow, including inventory allocation and generation of shipment details.

Data Sync FAQs

▸ Can I synchronize real-time inventory levels from TIMS to Wayfair?
Yes, absolutely. The integration supports near real-time inventory synchronization. When inventory levels change in TIMS (e.g., due to a sale or new stock), the iPaaS detects this event and immediately pushes the updated quantity to Wayfair's product listings, preventing overselling.
