The challenge
Rare Global Foods supplies food, meat and seafood to businesses across the Philippines. Stock was updated by hand, so the online store and the inventory system drifted apart, and products that were already out of stock could still be ordered.
What we built
We delivered the store on CS-Cart, front end and back end, and integrated it with Zoho Inventory:
- Stock levels kept in sync, so the store stops selling what is not available
- Products and prices kept consistent between CS-Cart and Zoho Inventory
- Orders synced between the two systems, so the team no longer re-keys them
The client's current public website has since been rebuilt separately; this case study covers the CS-Cart store and integration we delivered.
