Who's in charge at Le New Black

Your account manager will be taking care of the whole process from day 1. He/she'll be doing:

• Asking questions about your specific Odoo setup and sales process.
• Working with Odoo as they configure the data files to import & export to our system.
• Generating and exporting test orders to Odoo.
• Making sure your team is updated throughout the process and addressing delays occurring on either side.
• Working with you and Odoo to troubleshoot any unexpected issues that arise after launch.

Timeline

A standard integration will take 6-8 weeks to get up and running. 

Integration monitoring

Once the connector is set up, you will have access to the Integration center to manage and monitor your integration with a set of tools:

• access to task logs files for continuous monitoring and troubleshooting (e.g. see if a missing EAN13 or retailer reference is preventing an order from being exported)
• triggers task manually to push and pull data on-demand
• preview data before actual import (only available on some connectors)
