The Perfume Network of Australia Headless Commerce Integration
Overview
Perfume Network of Australia (PNOA) is a leading importer and distributor of genuine fragrances, serving the Australian wholesale and retail markets for over 19 years. With an extensive range of fine French fragrances (e.g., YSL, Hugo Boss, Estee Lauder), mass-market offerings, skincare products, and gift sets, PNOA caters to independent pharmacies, perfumeries, chains, and department stores across the country.
The Challenge
PNOA’s marketplace strategy aimed to scale its business by reaching more customers across multiple platforms. However, connecting directly to individual marketplaces proved inefficient and unsustainable for its ambitious growth plans.
To streamline its operations, PNOA needed:
- A middleware platform to act as a single integration point for connecting to multiple marketplaces.
- A scalable solution that could manage increasing demand and streamline data flows.
- An expert integration partner to support its business goals and simplify API connections.
After assessing various providers, PNOA chose CrescoData for its comprehensive capabilities and scalability.
The Solution
PNOA partnered with CrescoData to implement its strategic marketplace integration plan. Leveraging the CrescoData Management Platform, PNOA seamlessly connected to selected marketplaces via pre-built connectors, integrating its SQL database to sync product data, orders, and order statuses in real time.
Key features of the solution included:
- Single-point integration to connect the SQL database to multiple marketplaces.
- Syncing of product, order, and status updates via API integration.
- Streamlined onboarding for future marketplace connections.
Manish Aggarwal, Founder & Managing Director of PNOA, highlighted:
“CrescoData is exactly what we needed in an integration partner. The team is knowledgeable, proactive, and supportive, ensuring our fast-paced business demands are met with open communication and expertise.”
