How the parts work together.
A representative architecture view is shown in place of confidential product screens and operational data.
Technical decisions and trade-offs.
Decisions
- Keep external identifiers as the source for update matching.
- Separate data synchronisation from frontend rendering.
- Map imported fields into structured WordPress records instead of opaque page content.
Challenges and trade-offs
- API limits and field changes must be handled defensively.
- Credentials and dealership data cannot be published in the case study.
