Replacing the inventory management system in NopCommerce with our own
external system
My company is investigating using NopCommerce to develop a customized
website for selling items online. We already have a Windows based Point Of
Sale system. In an ideal world the NopCommerce system would be able to use
the same database that our POS system uses, then if something updates in
one, it will be updated in the other automatically. It would also mean we
don't need to manage two separate stock databases manually.
I want to know if it's technically possible to replace the inner workings
of the stock management system in NopCommerce and have it use our POS
database for the authoritative stock information? Or will that be a
considerable amount of work?
What would be the best way to approach that if it were possible? Via a
NopCommerce plugin? Via the NopCommerce API? If a change was made in one
system I'm thinking a notification could be sent to update the other stock
system and keep them both in sync. Or would you have to get your hands
dirty and create a new fork of the code?
