What needed to be done?
Step 4
Synchronization logic is developed on each side and tested in parallel with sample data.
Step 5
Digital testing: Everything that can be simulated is tested using real trading partner data.

In order to accomplish Magasin’s requirements of a new drop shipping programme, Our Tradehub and Magasin together identified what needed to be done.
Here is a visualisation of the integration architecture and how the process looks like.
How did we facilitate this process?
To ensure timely delivery of the project, Our Tradehub keeps track of timing and deliv- erables through a shared platform including the project planning and coordination.
We have a fixed meeting rhythm, with a weekly developer meeting and a weekly brand and retailer meeting. The meetings are very time boxed and control them step by step to secure efficiency.
