Where To Buy

[ninnemana]

Implement a dealer locator. There currently is no data to support this, so we will be copying all CURT customers to be Aries customers as a temporary way to test the application until the GoLive.

There currently is no data to support this

The list isn't comprehensive, nor is it probably up-to-date to the current customer base, but you can find quite a few on the old Aries Jeep website here.

So I call bullshit... :smile:

[ninnemana]

Below is the list of online retailers that should be listed. We will have two "tiers" of customers for the online section, Platinum (preferred) online dealers and the rest. Both lists should be randomized and shown in one list, the Platinum should be randomized and placed before the randomized list of the rest.

Also, we don't want to use the Customer Name field for the title of the customer, use their URL. So Amazon should be listed as Amazon.com

We also need to implement the use of the new map flag

[davidvthecoder]

I updated the random sorting and the two lists combined into one: https://github.com/aries-auto/ariesautomotive/commit/9658f7d7ef65c3411bd94644dbc134a1193333a9

Now all that is left is adding the flag

[davidvthecoder]

Map Icons are now the Aries Flag: http://3.aries-auto.appspot.com/buy

And CURT ones are still the CURT ones: http://www.curtmfg.com/wheretobuy

@ladelman provided us with the necessary dealer information for local and online.

WHERE TO BUY FINAL - BRICK & MORTAR AND ECOM UPDATED.xlsx

There is also data on designated sales representative, which got me to thinking that the sales representative data for customers isn't brand specific, which happens to be the case. From my understanding, one customer will have a sales rep for CURT and a different rep for ARIES. I'll have to confirm this before we worry about implementing any logic around it, of course.

[ninnemana]

Looks like the account numbers in the provided file don't match any customerID's in the database, perfect. I've reached out to @cowan14 to see if he can provide a cross reference, otherwise this could be painful.

[ladelman]

Seriously? From MAPICS? That is where I got the report from.

[ninnemana]

Ok, I'll have Chris see if he could export a cross reference between the numbers.

For reference CHUX TRUX has account number 40113501 in the file, but in our system it's listed as 10395001.

[ladelman]

Should be both.

When I look at reports in the CUBE, it gives both numbers. Same thing in Webreports.

If this is not readily available to him, someone in IT for sure has the capability to cross it for you quickly.

[ladelman]

The “rep information” was not necessarily the person responsible for the account. You can ignore that. That was just the source of the information. I should have deleted the column.

[ninnemana]

Tim is going to be providing a new file this afternoon with address information. Maybe we can unbind the customers from the Aries where to buy ahead of time?

[davidvthecoder]

I went ahead and set them all existing CustomerToBrand records of BrandID3 to BrandID of 4, that way if we want to revert back we can easily.
