Business channel synchronization

A network based commerce system comprising:

• one or more modules, each module comprising machine-executable instructions retained on non-transitory machine-readable media, the modules comprising,
• a communication module to:
• open a number of network connections, the number of the network connections determined by a client application locally installed on a client machine based on a machine census of the client machine, the machine census including determining a central processing power, total memory, available memory, bandwidth, and operating system, and a records census, the records census based on a number of items to synchronize between a network-based commerce system and a client application locally installed on a client machine;
• and
• receive, from a user at the client application, a synchronization command that synchronizes updating of data related to the user listing of the user, between the client application and the network-based commerce system;
• the communication module further configured to receive first update data related to a user listing of a user;
• and
• a listing management module configured to update, responsive to the receiving of the synchronization command, a first record related to the use listing, the updating to include the first update data received from the user in the first record;
• the communication module to communicate, via the network connections, second update data to the client application, the second update data reflecting a further update to the first record related to the user.

A method comprising;

• at a client application locally installed on a client machine and configured to create and update a user listing by a user,
• determining a machine census of the client machine, the machine census including determining a central processing power, total memory, available memory, bandwidth, and operating system, and a records census, the records census based on a number of items to synchronize between a network-based commerce system and a client application locally installed on a client machine;
• opening a number of network connections, the number of network connections determined by the client application based on the machine census of the client machine and the record census;
• transmitting, via the network connections, to the network-based commerce system a synchronization command that synchronizes updating of data related to the user listing of the user, between the client application and the network-based commerce system;
• transmitting, via the network connections, first update data received from the user at the client application, to a network-based commerce system, the network-based commerce system to, responsive to receiving the synchronization command, update a record related to the user listing, the updating to include the first update data received from the user in the record;
• receiving, via the network connections, second update data, pertaining, to the listing, from the network-based commerce system;
• and
• updating, a record pertaining to the listing maintained at the client application, the updating to include in the record the second update data received from the network-based commerce system.

A client system comprising:

• one or more modules, each module comprising machine-executable instructions retained on non-transitory machine-readable media, the modules comprising,
• a synchronization engine to determine a machine census of a client machine and a records census and open a number of network connections, the number of network connections determined by a client application locally installed on the client machine based on a machine census of the client machine, the machine census including determining a central processing power, total memory, available memory, bandwidth, and operating system, and a records census, the records census based on a number of items to synchronize between a network-based commerce system and the client
• a communication module configured to transmit, via the network connections and from the client application to a network-based commerce system, a synchronization command that synchronizes updating of data related to the user listing of a user, between the client application and the network-based commerce system;
• the communication module configured to transmit first update data received from the user at the client application, to the network-based commerce system, the network-based commerce system to update a record related to the user listing, the updating to include the first update data received from the user in the record, and to receive, via the network, second update data, pertaining to the listing, from the network-based commerce system;
• and
• a listing manager configured to update, a record for the listing maintained at the client application, using the second update data received from the network-based commerce system.
