We've been doing EDI, API, and XML integrations for some time now, and with every integration has come the question...
"So if the orders are just going to go into my ERP/SAP system, how will I know if there's anything wrong with them?"
And our response was always the same... you won't until it becomes an issue at the shipping line, or worse, when the customer calls to complain.
We came up with this system about 6 years ago that allows the customer to apply their own custom business rules to any orders received, electronically or manually, so that they are scrubbed clean before being entered into the customer's system for shipping.
This system increased productivity and reduced errors and issues at the shipping line by 95%...
Even we were blown away at how well it worked!
Since then, we've been using a prototype of this system with a few clients, and it's been a game changer for them. So, we thought we would look into productizing to capitalize on the Amazon/Shopify/e-Commerce frenzy that's ramped up this year...
But where to start? We're always in the process of revamping the look and feel of our OrderIQ software to make it as user-friendly as possible.
It will never be a "plug and play" type system that we could just sell from our website... there will always be some integration that will need to be done with each installation, and we strive to make that process as simple and convenient as possible.
