Overview

Yellow Dog’s 2-Way Integration with Aireus supports the ability to post sales data and pull new and changed items to Aireus via Yellow Dog’s API.

Sync Approach

This interface contains two elements:

  • Aireus’s process to pull items and post sales transactions

  • Yellow Dog’s Process Sales application that process transactions posted to Yellow Dog’s API for reporting and to deplete inventory.

Sync Frequency

The sync frequency is controlled by Aireus and by default Process Sales is scheduled for once a day.

Requirements

Client

TBD

Yellow Dog

The Yellow Dog Client must be hosted by Yellow Dog to utilize the API.

Yellow Dog needs to provide Aireus:

  • Client ID

  • Username

  • Password

POS Partner

The POS Partner is responsible for setting up the automated process to post sales and pull items.

Responsibilities

Client

The Client is responsible for ensuring items’ interfaces are properly set up (when applicable).

For food and beverage menu items, recipes will need to be mapped in Yellow Dog’s POS Mapping to ensure inventory is depleted when sold.

Yellow Dog

Yellow Dog will need to setup and configure the Process Sales sync.

Data Exchange and Mapping

Items

Aireus pulls item data directly from Yellow Dog’s API and controls what our fields will map to.

 Getting Items

  • This is an automated process that occurs once per day.

  • Aireus has different configuration options for pulling items. The standard method is they will pull the full item catalog, not just new/updated items. Additionally, for more fine grained item management the use of the “Download to POS” interface flag can be used to control which items are pulled into Aireus. The configuration will need to be set up with Aireus.

Interfaces

  • Aireus posts interfaces to our API that items in Yellow Dog will need to be configured to based on item configuration set up with Aireus.
