The new integration has revolutionised operations. Where previously staff faced hundreds of daily support queries, they now have more time to focus on customer support.

In this project we delivered:
Live order tracking
We built a new order tracking page for Progressive Parts. Here’s what’s cool about it:
- Customers can see order details, notes, and statuses that the Progressive Parts team was already inputting into their LinnWorks system.
- Orders can be split into multiple shipments and tracked.
- Live tracking numbers let customers see where their order is across various couriers.
- Staff can quickly send customers a link to check their order.
It’s simple, fast, and helps both customers and staff!
Customers could instantly access all the information they needed, reducing the need for back-and-forths with the support team.
A custom Wordpress plugin for Linnworks order tracking
At the heart of our integration approach for Progressive Parts was the development of a custom plugin to merge WooCommerce and LinnWorks, ensuring smooth data transfer and API access. To maintain consistent data flow, we set two automated schedules: one for continuous authentication and another for updating order info every 2 hours.
Our system tracks important details like shipping and order updates, with special attention to ‘split orders’. We made it simple for customers: they can easily check their order’s shipping status, even if it’s a split order. On the tech side, we employed Vue JS for dynamic parts of our site and jQuery for the basics, ensuring our site looks good on mobile too.
Lastly, we prioritised efficient performance, testing our system with tools like the WP Crontrol plugin. In essence, we aimed for a fast and simple user-friendly experience from backend to frontend.
