Ecommerce software with integrated configurable (granular to the minute) release schedule for products?

April 10, 2008 9:16 AM

I am having trouble finding a e-commerce software that releases products at specific times of day (I am looking to get as granular as down to the minute). Anyone know of an ecommerce system that has such a queuing/scheduling system? We'd prefer to buy than build it ourselves!

All e-commerce packages I've looked at allow you to release products into the store as available for purchase by day (by defining what day that product will be available or in stock) - but I would like to queue up products.

For instance: Product A (10 units of inventory) are available for sale at 8:10am, Product B (5 units of inventory) available at 8:20am and so forth up to a couple hundred different batches/releases a day. On the front end it would additionally useful if the latest product could be most prominently displayed and the last 10 products could be seen in a list.

BONUS (nice to have) if the products that aren't for sale yet, but will be up for sale later in the day are browseable with a countdown clock ticking down to when they are available.

Netsuite might have this. I'm not sure, though.

Drupal is a CMS that has an e-commerce module. You can also schedule when things are published with it. Those two portions should work together, thought I haven't done it myself.
