We provide a standard implementation across suppliers
PromoStandards has been instrumental in providing a standardized framework for communication between suppliers and distributors in the promotional products industry. This framework defines essential services like Product Data, Media Content (MED), Inventory (INV), Product Pricing and Configuration (PPC), and more. It outlines the methods or actions these services should implement, along with the request and response structures for these methods.
However, each supplier must implement these standards, leading to variations in how they are executed. These discrepancies often result in:
These issues create friction for developers trying to integrate with multiple suppliers, increasing the time and cost involved in setting up and maintaining these connections.
PSRESTful addresses these challenges by providing a unified REST/JSON API that standardizes the implementation of PromoStandards across all suppliers. This standardization offers several key benefits:
PSRESTful ensures that the data structure remains consistent, regardless of the supplier. This consistency simplifies the development process, allowing developers to work with a predictable and uniform data model.
With PSRESTful, the documentation is standardized and clear, eliminating ambiguities about which fields are required or optional. This clarity helps developers understand exactly what data they can expect and need to provide.
PSRESTful guarantees that all required methods for a service are implemented, providing full functionality as defined by PromoStandards. This means that developers can rely on PSRESTful to offer comprehensive coverage, avoiding the pitfalls of partial implementations.
By using PSRESTful, developers can integrate with multiple suppliers much faster and with less friction. The uniform API structure reduces the need for custom code to handle discrepancies between different suppliers' implementations, significantly cutting down development time and costs.
While it is possible to develop custom integration solutions for each supplier, doing so is more expensive and time-consuming. Developers must navigate the inconsistencies and gaps in each supplier's PromoStandards implementation, leading to increased maintenance efforts and potential errors.
PSRESTful provides a robust, reliable, and cost-effective alternative. It not only simplifies the integration process but also ensures that the data and services are up to the standards required for efficient operations. By standardizing the API across all suppliers, PSRESTful helps businesses focus on what matters most—delivering exceptional products and services to their customers.
