Troy, Mich, September 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Algo, a digital transformation services provider and supply chain software company, has successfully improved the way Microsoft receives business data from Amazon.
Rust stitchA business program manager at Microsoft’s information modernization initiative expressed admiration for Algo’s efficiency, accuracy and professionalism. “The technical and functional experts at Algo did an excellent job. They quickly integrated data from the new Amazon APIs, and ensured that the data was complete and accurate. I was impressed with the clear, communicative way they communicated with us and how quickly they delivered the project.”
As a global supplier of computing hardware, Microsoft used to receive order information and related details from Amazon through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) feeds. Algo Microsoft’s Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) helped replace these scheduled data pushes with on-demand data requests. Algo successfully implemented SP-API for all Microsoft geographic regions within 5 weeks.
Organizations have used EDI for digital B2B communication for decades. The sender often transmits data in daily or weekly batches, making recent updates impossible. Application programming interfaces (APIs) such as SP-API do not only support real-time updates. Reduce data exchange costs and complexity.
Algo automatically processes SP-API feeds from Amazon to Microsoft, reducing manual data management efforts. During data integration, Algo performed comprehensive data validation that led to the identification and recovery of significant lost sales.
Emily SlavikAlgo’s chief product officer credited the executive team’s collective experience for the project’s success. “Integrating API data from all Microsoft regions was a challenge,” she said. And it provides a solid foundation for future digital transformation initiatives.
