Shear Success

alanigan — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:33:50 +0000

Hard work met celebratory fun for Fluid last Wednesday. And one of us ended up bald because of it. Channel 5 News was there to share our exciting news with the whole Bay Area.

Fulfilling on a promise to shave his head if Fluid hit a specific revenue goal, our CEO Andy Lloyd delivered with style. We raised a toast to our clients and to our Fluid team. Then Jonathan broke out the shears and took care of business. Despite suggestions from the crowd, Andy kept his eyebrows. Our plan from here? Commitment to continued success.

Fluid Retail Tips: “Look Mom, no hands!” – Complete Automation for Image Processing

katherine — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:07:58 +0000

This installment of Fluid Retail Tips will focus on the automation capabilities within Fluid Experience. With the ability to automate most tasks, Fluid Experience allows merchandisers to quickly publish their product imagery with ease. The publishing flow usually consists of the following:

IMPORT: Product data and images are uploaded to Fluid Retail through XML, Hot Folder or CSV
CREATE: Interactive display and static image creation within Fluid Retail
DEPLOY: Deployment of assets from Fluid Retail to customer hosting infrastructure

Each of these tasks can be configured to run as individual jobs or sequenced jobs. The jobs can also be sequenced in a number of ways. For example, one could sequence a Create and Deploy job. Another example would be an Import, Create, Deploy to Staging Server and Deploy to Production Server sequenced job. To configure a sequenced job that best fits your workflow, please contact support@fluidretail.com.

The jobs above can be triggered with the following methods:

Jobs Panel: Login to the admin tools and go to https://www.fluidretail.net/joblist.html in another browser tab or window. Here you will see any jobs configured for your account.
Scheduled: Jobs can be scheduled to run at a time of your choosing and as many times a day as desired. This method does not require merchandisers to log into Fluid Retail. The image publishing will automatically begin at the specified time(s). Please contact Fluid Retail support if you would like to schedule a job.
Triggered by a remote system: Product catalog refreshes can be triggered via web services. You’ll find more information about Remote Job Invocation here.

Finally, you can now receive email notifications when your jobs run. To subscribe to these emails, go to the Administration and the Users tabs in your Fluid Retail account. Click on the “Manage Subscriptions” button to sign up to receive email notifications.

Please contact Fluid Retail support to learn more about these features.

In search of… Lead Software Engineers

WordPress — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:06:26 +0000

Fluid is growing… we’re growing our expertise, we’re growing our client base, and we’re growing our team. We’ve got a number of positions available right now, but the one I’d like to highlight is our Lead Engineer position. At Fluid, the Lead Engineer really gets a chance to stand out, and be not only a technical leader, but a thought leader. We love to hear new ideas and find new ways to blow the minds of our clients.

This is a chance to really build your career working with the cutting edge of technology on projects for top shelf clients. Lead Engineer isn’t just a name we throw around, our leads really are at the forefront of the engineering team. They contribute at every phase of development from concept to launch, leading their team to the successful completion of each project and rave customer reviews.

So if you’ve got a talent for handling responsibility, working with others, and setting technical direction, even if you haven’t been a lead before, we want to hear from you! We’ve got a quick questionnaire to get the interviewing started right off the bat, so hop onto the link below and take the first step into a Dilbert-free life.

One other thing, if you’re not interested yourself but know someone who might be, refer them and get five grand if they get hired. That wasn’t a typo, it’ll be the easiest money you ever made.
