I have Magento 2 store and looking jet.com for sales point of view.
Is this possible ?
Please suggest me any possible solution.
Thank you.
You have a couple options:
You can directly integrate with CedCommerce's commercial extension.
You can use a third-party omnichannel integrator that will sync catalog data, inventory and orders to any of a number of marketplaces. While there are a number of these platforms, there aren't many right now that have ready-made integrations with both Jet and Magento. Two that I have found are SellerCloud and ChannelSale. One thing to note is that these typically become the center of your e-commerce operation, with Magento pushed to the fringe, as just another marketplace alongside Jet. That may be good or bad depending on your business model and existing architecture.
Note that I have no first-hand experience with using these integrations or omnichannel platforms like this, so I cannot personally vouch for their quality.

In my company we are using a board to present status of the tickets. Something like kanban board but with more columns. So a chit is a ticket that you put on the table, that is drawn on the board. Columns (sometimes split into rows rows) represent status (development, in testing, etc.). Problem is that this is all manual. I am looking for software to help me setup digital one. I would need:
possibility to integrate with jira (board <-> jira)
fully customizable (look of sinlgle ticket, table setup)
drag and drop option
possible free
I am not afraid to write it from scratch (in java) but if there is something that can help me I am open to suggestions.
Regards
You can try SwiftKanban - it integrates with JIRA and has all of the capabilities you are looking for. There is a free version - but for the JIRA integration option, you do need to pay for it.
Your other option might be to try Trello - which is now acquired by Atlassian, the maker of JIRA - and may be integrated with it.
Disclaimer: I work for the company that has developed SwiftKanban.
There are many tools you can pick up from.
As being part of Kanbanzie, I can definitely suggest it. It is integrated with JIRA, drag and drop function is available and you have 30-day free trial. You can also use a portfolio Kanban approach in order to manage multiple project.
I think Workfront and Asana are good options as well.
Good luck.
I'm searching for a shopping cart or web store framework that supports multiple vendors.
There are many, many shopping cart frameworks out there: that page lists couple of hundred. In spite of the comparisons on that page, supporting multiple vendors isn't a comparison item, probably because it's a rare requirement. Separate to that page I have evaluated a few of what appear to be the top frameworks, and none that I evaluated supported this feature. Which carts would you recommend?
Commercial is okay, although I would prefer open source.
Platform (Windows, Linux, ASP.Net, PHP, Ruby... Minix, Fortran... :)) doesn't matter.
A system
where I manually add vendors who request it (instead of them freely
being able to sign up) is also okay, if there's a store where that's
possible but freely joining up isn't built in yet.
Rationale: I'd like to create an app-store like website. "App store" is a close analogy: it won't sell apps, but it will sell digital goods and I'd like anyone to be able to sell their item on the store. It's this second requirement, multiple vendors selling through the store, that I'm finding hard to satisfy.
I've used multiple shopping cart frameworks (a lot of them broken), and my favorite (which just so happens to support multiple vendors) is PrestaShop. It's free, open source, and suppports all that you asked for. Is this the framework you were looking for?

The Wikipedia page you cited lists multiple vendor support as a column in Other Features, along with features that are pertinent to your search.
This question otherwise requires domain knowledge and likely requires multiple answers. The best I can do is offer the bounded set of software that competes directly within this space, at least according to Wikipedia.
The easiest solution for achieving your stated goal of allowing multiple people to sell on your site while exercising fine-grained control of who can and cannot do so is perhaps using WPMU's MarketPress in tandem with BuddyPress or WordPress Multisite. I'm not a die-hard fan of WordPress, per se, but that might be an expedient way for you to get to a minimal viable product and to validate your idea before shelling out the time and/or cash to custom build it from the ground up, and/or labor ad nauseam with tweaking an existing framework. MarketPress is a good plug-in that'll give you many of the features of a full-fledged e-commerce framework... BuddyPress, of course, will allow you to set up individual vendor's with their own sites under your brand. The two work together. More on MarketPress at:

Another alternative is Jimdo's PagePartners. I haven't used it, but it looks intriguing. I like their design sensibilities, and their stated business ethos. This might be a viable option, too. The caveat being: it's not white label. More info about Jimdo's PagePartners here:

Finally, another interesting CMS to explore is SetSeed. I think it'll allow you to launch multiple sites for each vendor via a central hub you control, and will allow you to maintain your branding within each. How, the,n any sort of renumeration would flow back to you for setting up an individual vendor's store would be up to you to figure out... This is a fairly new CMS and it looks like it's evolving smartly and rapidly. If you require some customization of it, to approach more specifically what you ask for, now might be a good time to reach out to the developer...but you might be able to think of an effective way to adapt it for your use right out of the box.

Unfortunately, none of the above is open-source--but, again, the ease by which you could get to a functional site approximating your idea may off-set that drawback. Jimdo is an open-source contributor, however. So, maybe even an e-mail to them might be a fruitful dialogue to begin. If anything, check out each of the above, and it may influence how you search for other solutions, and will at least provide some models in your own thinking or with other developers. The shopping cart is an integrated feature, I believe, in all of the above cases. With regard to giving your vendors the capacity to deliver digital goods (e-books, mp3s, etc.), check out Fetchapp.com. Very cool app. Very easy to set-up...could probably be rolled into one of the above frameworks. The frameworks would handle the issue of individual vendor profiles and/or sub-domains.
what's a good cms for web shops ? I've always used Drupal so far, but I haven't ever developed webshops. I saw there are Magento and a Drupal module Ubecart.
I actually would like to know a "known, easy to use webshop framework so I don't have to take care abuot security issues.. etc
thanks
I have been using both Magento (community edition) and Ubercart depending on client's target hosting preference. I must say that Magento has some impressive functionality and flexible as it has been around for a while. However there are some serious problems with this. Upgrading Magento to the latest version is a complete nightmare and have a good chance of needing to reinstall. Building your themes in Magento is so convoluted, it takes so many inheriting files to create a simple layout change. There is cummunity support, but most of them screaming for help as I remember. Magento model is "make money from support". So I found that they are not so quick to help on the forums.
With Ubercart it is refreshing to see the amount of active help. I think this is important if you are new this. If you are already familiar with Drupal, then I would say stick with Ubercart. It is much simpler to manage than Magento.
They are both good with application security, but you will need to setup your own SSL cert anyway. I've played with some other carts such as Zen and OS Cart, but found them inferior compared to Ubercart and Magento.
There are more than 500 of them. shopping-cart-reviews.com has a search by parameters feature, does a good job.
If I where you, I would compare open source packages like magento and ubercart against hosted ones like our own SolidShops.com.
Check out my blog post about magento (and open source ecommerce packages) versus hosted ones. I've outlined when to go best with open source / hosted depending on your situation.
We've built SolidShops.com specifically for web designers that need an easy and flexible platform for building small to medium sized stores. It's hosted so you won't have to install, update, secure, backup, ... a thing
Design is 100% flexible if you know html and css and it's a breeze to set up.
I was trying to analyze the trend about companies leaving their own custom built solution in favor of the standard CMS solutions such as Drupal, Joomla and DotNetNuke etc. While I can find many stories about medium and large organizations leaving their custom solution for Drupal/Joomla etc, I cannot find any reference where organizations are leaving prebuilt CMS's/Frameworks to go custom again. Is this not happening at all or it's just a matter of not being properly documented?
Thank you.
Imran.
I can't think of a situation where a company has abandoned an in-house developed CMS in favor of re-developing a CMS on their own.
Everything I'm familiar with involves leaving a hand rolled CMS solution in favor of a commercial/open source solution.
Well i can imagine that while most companies prefer homebrewn solutions for some of them or in certain scenario's an open source or commercial alternative might fill their needs.
In case we at our work need to set up a blog we'll most likely choose wordpress, we know it, it does what it needs to do and does it good. Customization isn't a big deal but out of the box it works too.
For larger projects we always use our own CSM built with our own framework, that is what we know best.
So to answer your question, I still have to see the first company going from existing CMS to custom built but i'm fairly certain there are alot doing both.
Looking at it just from an engineering standpoint -- a commercial CMS company, with 50 full time engineers, puts in about 100k hours of engineering effort annually into managing and developing products. A homegrown solution typically has a small team of engineers assigned to manage and develop it, often also balancing other projects & responsibilities. Let's say the homegrown solution has a team of 4 people, working part time (20 hours) a week, which is about 4k hours annually into managing and developing the product.
That's 100k vs 4k hours of engineering in 1 year.
Also consider, for the homegrown solution, most of the first year's 4k hours will be spent recreating basic content management that has been written 100 times over, e.g. permissioning, workflow, approval processes, etc.
From a business standpoint, businesses want to focus on their core competencies. Unless your core competency is content management, makes no sense to build a homegrown CMS from scratch, and companies largely are not doing this, or moving away from them if they have in the past.
What is the most typical structure of business where you want to develop several web services? Should one establish a company for each of them or keep under one? I would like to hear your experiences maintaining such situation, keeping in mind the global focus.
By far the two most critical sets of issues determining the answer to this question are legal and financial (including, but not mainly, accounting). So it's hard to see how this question fits with the intent of this site.
It is advised to provide more background information on the topic. Business plans for SaaS companies can range from large cloud computing service vendors (with integrated solutions) and up to business analytics providers targeting specific market niche.
Business is a bit like programming: Keep It Simple (Stupid). Do not create multiple companies, unless there is a good reason to do it.
If You Planning to use python, you can use Django to build saas application,
this video Build SaaS application in Python django will explain about getting started with Sass.
