BizBloqs × ChannelEngine

TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS

It is a partnership both parties embraced without hesitation, because it makes perfect sense. ChannelEngine connects sellers to hundreds of marketplaces worldwide and takes care of every channel-specific rule and format. BizBloqs adds the warehouse depth behind those channels: real stock, scanned picking and shipping confirmations that reach the marketplace inside its SLA.

Together, we transform our clients to a level where they are able to compete with the giants in their industry.

IS THIS YOU?

Who this ChannelEngine integration is for

ChannelEngine can list you on every marketplace. It cannot promise a delivery date for a box that nobody has picked yet.

You sell on marketplaces such as bol, Amazon or Zalando alongside your own webshop.
One stock position has to serve every channel without overselling on any of them.
Marketplace SLAs on same-day handover and tracking are starting to hurt.

INTEGRATE YOUR SYSTEMS

Both BizBloqs and ChannelEngine enable you to continue working with your own backend systems. Relevant information is synchronized and up to date across marketplaces, while orders are pushed back to BizBloqs.

Together, we create a seamless experience through the logistics process and extended to the most important local and major marketplaces.

PLUG IN E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS

BizBloqs and ChannelEngine connect to the major e-commerce platforms. Set things up once and enjoy a smoothly integrated experience from the warehouse throughout all your chosen selling platforms.

WHAT CHANGES ONCE CHANNELENGINE AND BIZBLOQS ARE CONNECTED

Marketplaces punish overselling and late handover far harder than your own webshop does. The connection turns availability into a deliberate choice per channel and turns every marketplace order into scanned warehouse work within seconds.

One connection to hundreds of channels

ChannelEngine absorbs the channel-specific rules and formats, so BizBloqs only has to speak one language for all of them.

Orchestrated channel availability

Not one flat stock number pushed everywhere. Safety stock and an availability strategy per channel, so a marketplace never sells what you cannot ship.

Orders land as pick work, not as e-mail

A marketplace order arrives in BizBloqs within seconds as a picking job, with the right service level and carrier requirement already attached.

Shipping confirmation inside the SLA

Track and trace goes back to the channel the moment the parcel leaves the dock, which is what keeps your marketplace performance scores healthy.

Returns handled as a process

Marketplace returns arrive as announced returns and are booked in, inspected and returned to sellable stock under the same rules as your own channel.

Grow channels without a project

Adding a marketplace is configuration in ChannelEngine and one availability strategy in BizBloqs. The warehouse process stays exactly as it is.

Marketplace integration

How the ChannelEngine integration works

ChannelEngine sits between your marketplaces and your operation. It is not an ERP connection: what is exchanged is channel orders, availability per channel, shipments, returns and cancellations.

ChannelEngine — REST API per channel

API key from your ChannelEngine account, orders pulled and fulfilment pushed

ChannelEngine collects orders from Bol, Amazon, your own webshop and every other connected channel and hands them to BizBloqs in one format. BizBloqs picks, packs and ships them and posts shipment, tracking and cancellation back per channel. The important part is availability: you publish orchestrated availability per channel, not one raw stock number. A safety buffer per channel keeps you from selling stock you cannot ship on marketplaces where being out of stock damages your seller rating.

What you need

A ChannelEngine account with your channels connected
API key generated in that account
An availability strategy per channel: buffer, cap, priority
Agreement on which system handles cancellations and returns

Which messages are exchanged

Order-driven and near real time — a marketplace does not wait for a nightly batch.

Availability is published per channel and per strategy. One raw stock number pushed to every marketplace is exactly the pattern this integration exists to avoid.

This is our standard integration. An empty field means that message is not exchanged in that direction by default. Integrations can be modified or extended customer-specific through workflows.

How we roll it out

1. Channel inventory
We list the channels in scope and what each one demands in terms of cut-off, delivery promise and penalties for stock-outs.
2. Connection
The API key is entered and the first orders are pulled into a test environment.
3. Availability strategy
Per channel we set the safety buffer, any cap and the priority order — this is where Bol and Amazon get treated differently from your own webshop.
4. Fulfilment test
Order to shipment to tracking, including a cancellation and a return, verified per channel.
5. Go-live
Channels are switched live one at a time, so a problem never hits every marketplace at once.

Does your process fit this message set?

This is our standard ChannelEngine integration. If you need messages that are not in the table, send us your list — we tailor integrations per customer through workflows and will tell you upfront what is standard and what is custom.

Integration FAQ

Do all channels get the same stock figure?

No, and that is the point. Availability is orchestrated per channel with its own safety buffer, so a marketplace that punishes stock-outs is protected without freezing stock everywhere else.

How fast are orders picked up?

Near real time. Marketplace cut-off times leave no room for a nightly batch.

Who owns the customer communication?

The channel does. BizBloqs supplies shipment and tracking data to ChannelEngine, which relays it in the format each marketplace expects.

How are cancellations handled?

A cancellation request from the channel reaches BizBloqs; if the order has not shipped, it is stopped and confirmed back. After handover it becomes a return.

Do returns come back through ChannelEngine?

Yes. The channel announces the return, BizBloqs registers the physical receipt and its disposition, and that result goes back to the channel.

Can we run ChannelEngine and an ERP connection at the same time?

Yes, and most customers do. The ERP owns items and the administrative position; ChannelEngine owns the channel orders and availability.

What happens if a channel goes down?

Orders queue and are picked up when the channel recovers. Warehouse work on already-received orders is unaffected.

BizBloqs was one of the first to provide a WMS with scanning capabilities and we started a journey together. Our operations have gotten a lot more complex, advanced and especially bigger over the past 5 years and we have simply grown together.

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!

Neeltje Jans

In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
