Infoplus is focusing on increasing speed and preparing for the increased volume predicted for the holiday season. To accomplish this, we released a few stories last night:
Some shopping cart connections were calling the API once a minute to update inventory, which was taking up valuable space on the Infoplus servers. To free up space and increase speed for all Infoplus users, we increased the minimum shopping cart connection to sending once every 5 minutes.
If your chron schedule was set to any frequency beyond 5 minutes, you will not be impacted by this update.
To prepare for the Holiday Rush, Infoplus is adding three additional servers to our system. You may need to whitelist the new IP addresses (provided below) to continue to send and receive requests through Infoplus. If the new IP addresses are not recognized by your API, requests could fail.
New IP Addresses:
We launched two articles to help you prepare both your Warehouse and your Infoplus WMS for the increased volume during the holiday season. Please review and implement any preparations that could help your operations be as successful as possible this year.
17 Practical Ways to Prepare Your Warehouse for the 2021 Holiday Rush
Please only bulk edit in batches of 500 or less in Infoplus. If you select a batch larger than 500, you will see significant system slow-downs.
Please only bulk load in batches of 5,000 or less except for Orders. You can only bulk upload 1,000 Orders at one time.
We decreased the number of AVS calls made (to increase speed) by only making a call if the address was changed to verify the updated address for the order.
Interactive receiving wasn’t checking the receiving quantity against the Units Per Wrap, which has now been corrected.
We are always updating, editing, and adding new Knowledge Base articles to better address common questions and scenarios our clients bring to us. Check out these recently new or updated articles for insight into best practices within Infoplus:
We can link to a gated resource within the blog listing if that makes sense to route users to gated content to capture qualifying information.
