What technology do we use?

Our search engine Vendobot visits your website every now and then to scan your available products, this is usually done overnight between 12am and 8am, and we try to keep the "hits" to a minimum - the default setting is once a month but you can set that to weekly or daily if you prefer. You can also set up a data feed in XML or CSV. If you're unsure about how to set up a direct feed you can contact Sean by phone or email and he will help you get set up.
