Management command, so that I can call it with Cron.  Most clients prefer
the fulfillment/data-interchange part be completely automated.

However, I make the management commands write log/status entries viewable
via Django Admin just in case something blows up.

That too much user interaction for something computers are supposed to do
for you, IMHO.  I'd rather the system just yelled if something was wrong
than make a client or a poor office person have to do annoying repetitive
click-click-click every day.  *Unless* of course, you really do need the
interaction, or the other backend system can't be automated.
