Automated Feeds, Real-Time Pricing
The data chaos problem
Daily feeds, inventory rotation, constantly changing prices
Joma’s business is inventory arbitrage: buy overstocked luxury goods at wholesale, sell at discount. Thousands of products rotate through the catalog constantly. A watch in stock yesterday is gone today. Prices change multiple times a week.
Standard catalog management doesn’t work at this volume. Manual updates are impossible. The system needs to ingest wholesale price feeds, calculate retail pricing automatically, sync inventory across Magento and external marketplaces, and do all of this without slowing the website.
If the site bogs down under thousands of product updates, customers abandon carts. If inventory doesn’t sync in real time, customers order items already sold. If pricing doesn’t update when wholesale costs change, margins disappear.
The architecture approach
Automated feed processing and inventory orchestration
We built an automated system that ingests supplier feeds, calculates retail prices based on margin rules, and syncs across Magento and external marketplaces in near-real-time.
Instead of batch processes running overnight, the system runs continuously, updating prices and inventory as changes arrive. External marketplace integrations pull from a single source of truth.
What we delivered
Catalog automation at scale
Automated pricing feed ingestion
Supplier feeds arrive daily with wholesale costs. The system calculates retail prices based on margin rules and deploys new prices across the website automatically.
Real-time inventory synchronization
When inventory arrives, it’s added to Magento and synced to Amazon and eBay within minutes. Overselling nearly eliminated because sync is fast and accurate.
Multi-channel marketplace integration
M2E Pro connects Magento to Amazon and eBay. Same product, same inventory count, same pricing rules across all channels.
Dynamic pricing based on margin rules
Luxury watches and handbags have different margin requirements. The system applies different rules to different products, ensuring profitability while staying competitive.
Catalog automation and duplicate prevention
New products checked against existing inventory by UPC and supplier ID. Duplicates flagged. New products added with all attributes populated automatically.
Elasticsearch-powered search
Configuration handles tens of thousands of products. Customers search by brand, price range, condition, year – and get results instantly.
The bottom line
The right platform becomes a data pipeline, not just a storefront.
It ingests data, transforms it, validates it, and distributes it to all sales channels. That infrastructure becomes competitive advantage: you respond to wholesale market changes faster than competitors.
