Smart Sync Developer Tools
Every HeadlightTM account includes a secure FTP dropbox for receiving customer, delivery and product information. The Headlight Data BridgeTM checks your dropbox every night and performs a “smart synchronization”.
- adds new contacts to Headlight
- removes lost contacts from Headlight
- updates product prices, product quantities and delivery history
- sends completion email to the Headlight administrator
Instead of simply overwriting the data – which wouldn’t be smart – it adds new contacts, removes lost contacts and intelligently updates existing contacts. This ensures delivery information always matches the billing system, but without the hassle of manually importing files.
