Let’s talk once again on integration simplicity.
After you make yourself familiar with PointLoyalty Manager bonus programs management system (this can take a bit more then 20 minutes) – you will need to decide how to pass the consumer transactions data into the system.
If you need online data processing, your programmers need to pass the data as follows:
ValueBean val1 = new ValueBean();
val1.setName(”sum“);
val1.setNumericValue(3800);
ValueBean val2 = new ValueBean();
val2.setName(”product“);
val2.setNumericValue(”printer“);
ActionBean action = new ActionBean();
action.setMemberId(”customer card for John Doe“);
action.setName(”purchase“);
action.setValues(new ValueBean[] { val1, val2 });
return action;
From this example you can see that
- “John Doe” has made a “purchase” of a “product” named “printer” and spend “sum” of $130.
In your information system there is a record of this purchase, so there should be no problem in passing this data to PointLoyalty Manager.
