Prestashop as the backbone of my ecommerce site?

[orcusomega]

OK, I am trying to navigate the waters of Prestashop and all the bells, whistles, and add-ons that are available, and I am getting a bit behind the curve.

 

I keep looking at other potential solutions, but keep coming back to PS - so I am looking for some guidance on what the other pieces of the puzzle are that I need to make this project of mine work well.

• We need to be able tp update many product prices automatically - bulk upload, etc. This looks possible - bulk import/export as well as scripting against the values in the database.
  
• Integration with QB POS - we use a QB POS 10 installation to run the retail operations, and we want to leverage this as well. When an order is placed, we want it to go into QB, and print a pick sheet. I know this is a plugin (we're looking at webgility)
  
• Inventory Management with QB - I know this is also a plugin (we're looking at webgility for this as well).
  

So the workflow (in a perfect world) would go like this:

• We place an item on the site (or more likely 10,000 of them through bulk upload)
  
• Customers place order online
  
• Order goes into our QB POS system, and automatically prints a pick ticket
  
• Picker grabs tickets, packs box, attaches postage sends on its way (inventory is reduced by picker taking item off shelf)
  
• customer gets updated info in online order that shows the status of his order changing and tracking information
  

First, how practical is this expectation, and secondly, am I looking in the right places for the right pieces?

 

Your help is appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Bob, 

Did you ever come up with a solution to this? It sounds like I have the exact same expectation/problem. 

 

Thanks,
