Mitchells Adventure, a leading retailer in the outdoor and adventure gear market, sought to enhance their digital presence and streamline their operations by integrating their point of sale (POS) system with multiple eCommerce platforms. The goal was to create a very seamless and efficient process for managing products, customers, and orders across various online marketplaces, including eRetailer, Shopify, Google Merchant Center, and eBay.

Solution
RetailCare developed a custom-built middleware API solution called SyncCare to address these challenges. SyncCare acts as a central hub that connects Mitchells Adventure’s POS system with the various eCommerce platforms. The key features of SyncCare include:
- Seamless Product Syncing: Products added to the POS system are automatically synced to the respective eCommerce platforms based on flags created within the POS system. This ensures that product information is consistent and up-to-date across all platforms.
- Customer and Order Management: SyncCare ensures that customer data and orders from all web platforms (Shopify, eRetailer, eBay) are synced back to the POS system. The system also includes logic to prevent duplicate customer records based on email addresses.
- Scalability: The system has been designed to scale with Mitchells Adventure’s growth. Over the past three years, Mitchells Adventure has successfully added an additional Shopify site for a different brand, further enhancing their market share.


Results
Since implementing SyncCare, Mitchells Adventure has experienced significant improvements in operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The key benefits include:
- Time Savings: The automated syncing process has reduced the time spent on manual data entry and management, allowing staff to focus on more strategic tasks.
- Data Accuracy: SyncCare has minimized errors and inconsistencies in product listings and customer data, leading to a more reliable and trustworthy shopping experience for customers.
- Enhanced Market Share: The addition of a new Shopify site has allowed Mitchells Adventure to reach a broader audience and increase their market share.
Conclusion
The integration of Mitchells Adventure’s POS system with multiple eCommerce platforms through RetailCare’s SyncCare solution has been a resounding success. The seamless data flow and automated processes have not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the overall customer experience. Mitchells Adventure continues to leverage SyncCare to drive growth and innovation in the competitive retail market.
