VIEW RESULT

Client

Founded by longtime car enthusiast Garvin, the business grew from a personal passion for collecting rare vehicles into a trusted resource within the entertainment industry. Over the years, Garvin’s collection and network have been featured in more than 100 productions, supported by strong relationships with studios, directors, and production teams.

Goal

The client had a large vehicle portfolio that was constantly updated manually using WordPress Post Types. The management team struggled to keep up with updates – there were simply too many items, and the manual workload was overwhelming. The client asked us to develop an automated solution.

THE SOLUTION

After conducting research, we discovered that the client maintained a vehicle database in Airtable, which they regularly updated. Since Airtable’s sheet-based interface allows for quick and straightforward editing, we decided to integrate it directly with the WordPress site. As third-party solutions offered limited functionality, we developed a custom synchronization plugin.
We created a custom plugin connecting Airtable and WordPress using the Airtable API and WordPress REST API, enabling data from Airtable to sync directly with WordPress posts.

AUTOMATED DATA SYNC

We implemented several flexible options, including synchronization without images to reduce server load, as well as the ability to use Cron for automated, scheduled syncing.
In addition, we developed a frontend control panel for managing plugin settings, complete with status indicators and warning messages, allowing administrators to monitor the process at any time.
As a result, the Airtable database can be fully transferred to WordPress with a single click, eliminating manual work within the WordPress post interface and significantly streamlining the content update workflow.
