The foundation for demanding tasks.
Long tasks run in the background – the admin area stays available
Some tasks take a while – an AI analysis, a transfer to a marketplace or a large export. Background Processing accepts such jobs and handles them in the background while you keep working in the admin area as usual. It is a shared foundation: other OPALs build on it and use it for their demanding tasks.
What this OPAL does for you
Nothing gets lost: paid AI calls are completed, and no task runs twice.
Full control: if a job gets stuck, you see it immediately and restart it with one click.
One overview for everything: every OPAL with demanding tasks uses the same foundation – you keep track of everything in one place.
These OPALs use Background Processing
Background Processing is the foundation – you see its benefits in the OPALs that build on it. For example:
Part of the OPAL family

Keep working right away
A task is accepted and handled in the background – the page in the admin area is usable again immediately. A scheduled job on the server works through the queue at regular intervals.
Status per job
Each job shows whether it is waiting, running, done or failed – each with a timestamp.
Nothing runs twice
A running job is not started a second time – not even if the page is reloaded several times. That way there are no duplicate costs for paid calls.
Stuck jobs detected
If a job takes unusually long, it is treated as aborted and can be restarted instead of staying stuck for good. You set the threshold per job type.
Large data volumes too
Whether a single identifier or several megabytes of image data: even large jobs are processed reliably without slowing down your store.
Overview in the admin area
All jobs with status, age and error reason. You can retry or discard individual jobs with one click. A notice warns you if nothing has been processed for a while.
Who is this OPAL for?
E-commerce manager
You use admin area functions that take a little longer – such as AI analyses or transfers to marketplaces.
How it helps
You start a task and keep working right away instead of waiting. You can see what is running at any time, and paid AI calls are not lost.
