Sometimes when I have 5 minutes for myself without thinking about ongoing projects, todos or technologies, obvious things come to my mind. It happened as I took a look at my opened webbrowser (Firefox) and wondered why my homepage actually is www.google.com. Firefox has Google search built in anyway. So I changed it to:

Sorry for not posting for a while… Among many other things I have been busy setting up my (first) retail venture. Take a look at:

http://retail.businex.de

What you can find there is the tip of a neat iceberg - me acting as an amateur model wearing clothes of the first lable I took on stock as an online merchant (Pyromaniac Clothing).

Tasks completed here:

• Interface with Amazon marketplace via AMTU -XML and established a merchant’s contract with Amazon.
• Logistics-Interface with DHL. Prints barcoded labels and ‘calls’ the parcel collection service on orders.
• Formulation of suitable and bulletproof business terms, return conditions etc.
• Decide on a range of products and fill up the warehouse initially (i.e. buy the stuff).
• Orders coming in via Amazon can be tracked and handled during the whole order process through a central admin-area including automatic generation of packaging lists and invoices. This is also supported by Amazon’s own frontend (Seller-Central) for special cases.
• Product-related data (technical stuff, inventory, images and further rich content) can be edited in this admin-area as well.
• Actual generation of the product-related data, images and texts.
• The whole system is communicating with the Amazon marketplace on a 24/7 basis.
• Set up a warehouse that can handle I/O of items once the system starts rolling. This comprised re-packaging of the merchandise and labelling with own barcoded thermo-labels to facilitate inventory taking with a scanner and setting up a packaging area. All this is web-technology based.

Retrospectively all this is a great amount of commitment. Cross your fingers for me. The actual sale is starting these days.

Amazing!
