The System also retrieves, parses and processes incoming Advanced Shipping Notices (856's) and incoming Purchase Order Acknowledgements (997's (997's are generated for each document sent through the VAN in either direction).

Image Upload Management Component
Created a component for streamlining the upload of various images needed for product listings on the Bonobos.com website. Original process involved uploading images to two different areas on the local server and another set of folders on the Content Delivery Network utilized by the site.
The solution provided a single interface from which to select base images upload. With the push of a single button, images that needed to be resized were automatically resized and the all images were moved via two different programmatically called FTP connections to their appropriate locations. The component was built to be accessed independently or through the Commercial, Off The Shelf (COTS) cart system the company was currently utilizing.

The system was created using a blend of AJAX, Soap Calls, JavaScript and the Active Widgets Grid Control and based in PHP. It also used a group of xml files on the backend to store the Purchase Order information and changes reducing the server load and database calls during use and incorporated an on-demand PDF builder for reports and printable copies of the Purchase Orders.
