Using Reliance Retail Analytics (RRA) Extension

Introduction

Reliance Retail Analytics (RRA) is an aggregator platform that facilitates the flow of inventory and order data from your selling locations (stores). It helps the merchants selling on different sales channels to use it as a standalone platform for managing orders and inventory instead of individually managing the data on Flipkart Seller Hub, Amazon Seller Central, etc.

note

Once you have installed this extension, it will be available in the Extensions section on Fynd Platform.


To accept and update your inventory using Reliance Retail Analytics (RRA), use below configurations.

Please note that the inventory for a particular location is always accepted from a single source. Hence, you cannot opt-in for locations whose inventory is already received from other sources than Reliance Retail Analytics (RRA).

On successful opt-in, a unique username and token will be generated for that selling location, which has to be used to send inventory to Fynd Platform. You can share this token with Reliance Retail Analytics (RRA).

Manual Sync

The operation is used in case there is any mismatch in quantity or price in Fynd Platform and in RRA extension. Use manual sync to synchronize the inventory to Fynd Platform and eliminate any mismatch between extension and Fynd Platform in either quantity or price.

Use this functionality after applying buffer so that inventory flows to Fynd Platform after subtracting buffer quantity.

Once the sync is completed, the changes would reflect on your opted sales channels.

You can sync Inventory manually to Fynd Platform by using:

  • Seller Identifier - This will sync the inventory for all SKUs or manually selected SKUs present across all selling locations.
    • All seller identifiers
    • Comma-separated multiple seller identifiers
