Boosted e-commerce connectivity by integrating with Decathlon Marketplace.

The challenge

Our client, a Romanian WooCommerce retailer, saw an opportunity to expand by listing their products on Decathlon Marketplace. However, the integration posed significant challenges: they needed to import product data, keep inventory, pricing, and images synchronized in real-time, and lacked specialized support or detailed documentation from Decathlon. Despite trying other integration solutions, the client couldn’t establish a smooth connection.

The solution

Makeitfuture tackled the integration with a structured approach:

  1. Analyzed Decathlon’s API documentation and tested initial data imports.
  2. Developed custom modules in Make.com to enable automatic product imports and updates between WooCommerce and Decathlon.
  3. Built a real-time synchronization system, ensuring stock levels, pricing, and product details always matched across platforms.

The result

The client is now an official Decathlon Marketplace partner with automated product syncing. This streamlined system saves time, improves data accuracy, and has increased their exposure to a broader audience, driving sales and customer satisfaction.

How the CleanCat app revolutionized a Norwegian cleaning service company's operations

The challenge

How an engineering company revolutionized the management of fuel expenses by integrating multiple technologies with its ERP system.

The challenge

A European applied engineering company faced a significant challenge in manually processing fuel expenses for its large fleet of vehicles. Every month, employees spent a full day sorting and organizing data from supplier invoices, matching each car’s fuel cost to its respective cost center, a time-consuming and error-prone task.

The solution

We automated this process using Power Automate, Cloudconvert, AI Builder OCR, and SharePoint, integrated with their existing ERP system, Navision. The automation extracts data from both Excel and PDF invoices, converts them for processing, and automatically categorizes and assigns expenses to the correct cost centers in Navision. Errors are flagged for manual review, but the rest of the process is fully automated.

The result

Our solution reduced the task from a full day’s work to just five minutes of data validation. This drastic time-saving eliminates manual errors and offers a scalable solution for future automation of other business processes. The integration with Microsoft tools and Navision was seamless, providing a reliable and efficient fuel expense management system.

Embark on a journey of automation excellence in hospitality finance. Discover how we transformed monthly reporting for a Belgian hotel chain, eliminating manual tasks and ensuring efficiency.

The challenge

A small hotel chain in Belgium struggled with manually uploading financial and payment reports from their property management system, Apaleo, to their accounting systems (Exact Online and AFAS). This process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and required manual formatting to ensure compatibility with the accounting system, leading to unnecessary pressure on employees.

The solution

We automated the entire reporting process using Make.com. Every month, data is extracted from Apaleo, formatted for each accounting system, and automatically sent to the accountant in CSV format for direct upload. We also created an interface on Airtable, allowing users to customize their reports without accessing Make.com directly, streamlining the process and reducing errors.

The result

The automation saved significant time, eliminated human error, and ensured timely delivery of monthly reports. The user-friendly Airtable interface allowed employees to customize reports with ease, reducing the pressure of meeting tight deadlines and improving overall employee satisfaction.

Discover how to use QR codes in marketing automation to achieve 40% higher marketing opt-in rate compared to industry average and connect products to customers.

The challenge

West Zebra, a digital advertising agency, needed to help AgrioFresh collect customer data for their fresh salad and fruit brands. Without this data, they couldn’t send targeted emails, alerts about sales, or personalized recommendations. The challenge was that consumer goods companies like AgrioFresh struggle to gather customer data from retail purchases, especially in supermarkets.

The solution

West Zebra implemented a creative solution using QR codes and no-code tools. By adding QR codes to packaging (for products like Oliveris, Master Fresh, and Master Fruit), customers could easily enter a contest by scanning the code and submitting their phone number.

  • Automation: The process was automated through Make.com, which handled:
    • Validation of each scanned QR code against a customer database.
    • A smooth, simplified process for returning customers to avoid re-entering personal information.
    • Automatic collection and consolidation of consumer data, ensuring seamless data flow for marketing purposes.
  • Marketing Automation: Once data was captured, the system ensured that customers received automatic confirmation and were prompted for marketing consent, with weekly prize draws automatically managed by the system.

The result

The results were remarkable. The campaign achieved a 48% opt-in rate for marketing messages, which significantly exceeded the industry average of 34%. This opt-in rate was a direct result of the QR codes making it easy for customers to engage with the brand.

The campaign also provided AgrioFresh with valuable customer data for the first time. This data allowed them to personalize future campaigns and offer targeted promotions. Due to the campaign’s success, it was not only extended but also turned into a recurring promotion, with an earlier start date for the next cycle.

Key Benefits:

  • The campaign opened up direct communication with customers, which was previously difficult for consumer goods companies.
  • Automation streamlined the process, reducing manual labor and allowing the team to focus on creative aspects of the campaign.
  • The partnership between West Zebra and Makeitfuture helped West Zebra deliver a campaign that was both efficient and highly effective.

Discover the transformative power of integrating Business Central with Make.com. Learn about the benefits, setup process, customization options, and best practices.

The challenge

An architecture company needed to integrate Microsoft Business Central (their primary ERP) with a Data Warehouse. The challenge was that custom functionalities and fields were becoming increasingly expensive. They needed to sync several critical objects, including customers, sales transactions, purchase invoices, currency exchange rates, vendors, and more. The limitations of Business Central’s API prevented access to all necessary fields, and traditional coding methods were time-consuming and costly.

The solution

To solve these challenges, Make.com was used to automate workflows, while Simple Object Designer helped create custom endpoints and fields to bypass API restrictions. The integration was designed with two main data flows:

  • Data Warehouse → Business Central (for dimension combinations)
  • Business Central → Data Warehouse (for syncing other data like transactions and customers)

Make.com was responsible for automating tasks such as searching items, creating dimension combinations, and generating JSON files. Custom fields and endpoints were quickly created to meet the client’s specific needs.

The result

The integration was completed quickly and has been running smoothly for months without issues. The client provided positive feedback, noting how quickly the prototype was built, allowing them to refine the data in real-time. The solution saved significant time and costs compared to traditional methods, and the integration accelerated development.

As the client mentioned, “I highly recommend Makeitfuture for integration work. Their approach, combined with the right tools, delivered results that traditional methods couldn’t achieve.”
