We have a number of APIs available for our resellers to utilise. These can help you to build your website and/or integrate with your CRM. Integrating your systems with ours can help to significantly simplify the process of getting important, up to date product information from us, as well as allowing your customers/staff to place their orders directly with us via your own online interface. Take a look at some of the benefits of using ProVu APIs.
Our APIs have been developed in-house and are constantly being updated and expanded to meet the requirements our resellers. The APIs are simple to use and can be integrated with almost all systems out there.
In this blog, we are going to look more closely at the following APIs: Product Information, Product Categories and Ordering as these tend to be the common starting points for integration.
Product Information API
There is a lot of information you can pull about the products we supply, this data can help in the building of your webstore.
| Part code | ProVu’s product name – this is a unique name given to each item, which is required to place orders. We can even store your own part code if you require or you can simply map these across. |
|---|---|
| Brand / Class | For example Snom and Yealink. |
| Product Name | A short concise product name. |
| Product Description | This is a longer product description, which you can use to quickly build your product information web pages. |
| Product Range | Some manufacturers have different ranges of products, where possible we store this information for you to use. For example, for Yealink we have T2, T4, T5 and CP. These can help to sub-categorise items within a brand/class on you website. |
| Retail Price | Recommended retail price, this is guidance as to what you may want to charge your customers. |
| Your Price | Your discounted trade price, this could be used with the retail price to calculate your sales out pricing to make sure you are making enough margin. |
| Available Stock | Real-time quantity of stock available. |
| Item Weight | Weight stored in kg can be used to help calculate shipping charges. |
| MPN | Manufacturer’s part number/SKU. |
| EAN | This field provides information about EAN/UPC/GTIN which is generally required for web stores using Google shops, shopify etc. You can differentiate between EAN and UPC number quite easily – if the number is 12 digits long it’s a UPC and if it’s 13 digits long it will be an EAN. |
We also have a developers guide of how use our product images and datasheets to display on your own site.

The Technicolor TG589vac v2 is now an end of life product. Our stock of this product has now run out and we would like to introduce you to its replacement, the new DWA0120.

Our ProSys provisioning service enables resellers to add device-specific configuration settings while placing orders, offering a true plug-and-play service for their end-users.
As part of our continued drive to improve our online reseller portal, ProSys, we have recently made improvements to the user interface to enhance the user experience – now making it easier than ever to add device configuration details in ProSys.
How to add IP Phone configuration details in ProSys
1) The first step is to add the product to your basket. There are a couple of ways to add hardware to your basket:
You can go to the ‘Price List and stock information’ page, find the product you want to add and click on the 
button to add it to your basket. This will take you to the order page.
Or you can go straight to the ordering page using the 
button on the ProSys home page.
In the order form start typing the name of the product in the ‘Choose Product’ text box, for example ‘Snom D715’. As soon as you start typing, the search results will start displaying a list of products with the nearest match. Simply click on the correct product you want to order to add it to the basket.
3) When you have your items in the basket, click on the 
button to take you to the configuration settings page.
4) On the configuration page, you will see fields like SIPUser, SIPPass and option to add up to 2 accounts to each phone. The majority of installations will only require Account A fields to be completed, but you can add a 2nd SIP account to the device if needed.
Before adding any details, please make sure you familiarise yourself with the terms on the configuration page. Find below a table which explains each setting and what should be added.
| Label | Setting meaning |
|---|---|
| SIPUser | Extension number |
| SIPPass | Extension password |
| SIPProxy | Registration/Proxy server URL/IP |
| outboundProxy | Outbound proxy (if any) |
| SIPPort | Phone local SIP listening port |
| SIPDisplay | Display name to appear on the phone screen |
| SIPIdle | Idle screen name |
| setting_server | URL/IP address to redirect the phone to another configuration server |
For the majority of installations, you can safely ignore SIPPort and setting_server fields, if in doubt please get in touch.
We can also work with you to create custom configuration templates which can contain common settings such as country tones, dial plan, time server and language etc, these details can be applied to all your devices. Please speak to our sales team if you would like more information.
