Request ConsultationAbout Automatic Distributors
Automatic Distributors is a leading supplier of vending machines, amusement equipment, parts, and supplies. They serve operators and retailers across the vending and amusement industry with a catalog of machines, parts, snacks, and beverages.
The Problem
Managing Automatic Distributors products manually doesn't scale
Specialized product data
Vending and amusement products require specific technical specs — dimensions, power requirements, compatibility. Getting this into Shopify cleanly takes effort.
Inventory fluctuations
Parts and machine availability changes frequently. Selling items that are out of stock creates fulfillment problems and unhappy customers.
Price list updates
Automatic Distributors updates pricing regularly. Manual price adjustments across your Shopify store are time-consuming and error-prone.
Order coordination
Manually forwarding orders to Automatic Distributors adds delay and creates opportunities for mistakes in part numbers or quantities.
Off-the-shelf software falls short
Generic integration tools aren't built for the vending and amusement industry's specialized product data. You'll spend more time wrestling with configuration than selling.
Why Custom
Generic integration software wasn't built for your supplier
Built for your supplier's data
Every supplier has a different feed format, update schedule, and set of quirks. A custom integration handles yours exactly — no workarounds.
No fighting generic middleware
Off-the-shelf tools are built for the average case. You'll spend weeks configuring them only to hit limitations that block your launch.
Scales with your catalog
Whether you carry 500 SKUs or 100,000, a custom integration is built for your volume from day one — no performance cliffs or pricing tiers.
We maintain it for you
When your supplier changes their feed or Shopify ships an API update, we handle it. You never touch a line of code.

Case Study
We built a custom integration for Toys “R” Us that syncs product catalogs and inventory levels from multiple wholesale suppliers directly into their Shopify store, eliminating manual data entry and keeping the storefront accurate around the clock.
The integration handles thousands of SKUs across suppliers, automatically updating products, pricing, images, and stock levels so the storefront always reflects what's actually available.
