Event-based integration with Microsoft Dynamics in real-time
The central ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics, which manages all processes such as product and inventory management and order processing, was implemented for Intersport by DECS.ch. The DECS.ch team also set up the data cloud, which serves as the data foundation for the Shopify interface. Through close and successful collaboration, we integrated the entire e-commerce process landscape with a customized middleware solution between Shopify and Dynamics. From the outset, our goal was to enable seamless communication between the systems using a modern, real-time approach.
To achieve this, we implemented an event-driven architecture that allows for the near real-time exchange of all relevant information between systems, including new products and attributes, price adjustments, orders, shipping notifications, and much more.
To handle the high volume of data flows, we chose Microsoft Event Hub as the central platform for event management. This is complemented by the Microsoft Service Bus in the Azure Cloud, which acts as an intelligent queue to ensure efficient data processing so that none of the millions of events are lost.
