EDI for MS Dynamics GP, AX, SL and NAV

2010-11-25T16:25:00.005-05:00

One Comprehensive EDI Integration Solution

ePortal provides one solution for the exchange of business data by managing connectivity, data transformation, storage, and EDI compliancy functions, relieving your organization of the need to purchase and maintain multiple components.

ePortal with eBridge Integration Solution

With an eBridge EDI Integration Solution working in conjunction with ePortal, Microsoft Dynamics is connected to your EDI document exchange process to streamline the e-commerce flow. An eBridge EDI Integration Solution eliminates manual and duplicate data entry to prevent costly errors and save your company time and money. Data from inbound EDI documents, such as orders, are automatically moved and integrated to Microsoft Dynamics. In turn, this accurate information is then used to automatically create outbound EDI documents, such as ASNs and invoices.

Benefits of Integration

• Eliminate manual data entry

• Prevent costly errors

• Allow more efficient use of staff

• Timely processing of documents

• Minimize chargebacks

• Faster order-delivery-payment cycle

• Faster access to information

• More efficient shipping, receiving and cargo tracking.

In addition, the Integration Solution creates historical transaction records of all inbound and outbound transactions, providing an auditable record track that is compliant with more stringent government regulations. The flexible and soft-coded XML technology employed by the ePortal supports numerous EDI formats (ANSI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMMS, etc.), thereby resulting in an independent and flexible Integration Solution that effectively integrates with the financial system while meeting a company’s unique internal business process.

ePortal negates the need to install and maintain on- premise communication and translator software, as it handles communication responsibilities through the established and secure channel with the Trading Partner (VAN, AS2, etc.) along with EDI compliancy and acknowledgement functions. E-mail notifications are sent upon acceptance of documents or when an outbound document has not been acknowledged within a specified time. ePortal stores documents that have not passed EDI compliancy checking. The non-compliant error(s) for these documents can be viewed to enable the document to be corrected “on-the-fly” using web forms, and then reprocessed. Archiving of documents is also offered with ePortal, providing less clutter on the screen and allowing for easier navigation.

Benefits of ePortal

• Platform for document exchange and tracking

• Unlimited transactions with no transaction fees

• Low annual subscription fee per trading partner

• Connectivity, compliancy, acknowledgement, data transformation, document routing

• View and print documents in user-friendly or raw formats

• Web forms for data entry and “on-the-fly” corrections/modifications

• Reprocessing capability

• Upgrades to new EDI versions automatically reflected in maps

• Large volume document storage

• Storage and viewing of non-compliant business documents

• E-mail notification of received documents

• E-mail notification of unacknowledged outbound documents

Credit Card Number, Please!

2010-08-16T17:02:00.000-04:00

Mike at eBridge Software has posted an interesting article on credit card information and the issues with integrating it.

"Here at eBridge, we integrate eCommerce platforms with over 37 back-end accounting packages/ERP systems. We are often asked about payment processing, or more specifically, how we handle credit card information from the eCommerce site and if our systems are PCI Compliant. The short answer is that we don’t handle credit card information, but first, let’s look at a very high-level overview of the order fulfillment cycle which will help provide some context."

5 Tips for Selecting the Right Shopping Cart

2010-06-16T13:49:00.001-04:00

Nazma from eBRIDGE Software has made great post to help people select the right shopping cart platform for their future ecommerce store.

"Choosing the best shopping cart solution for your launch into eCommerce is critical to the success of your online business. The right shopping cart can be a great marketing tool. Here are some features to look for in a shopping cart that can help promote your business.

1) Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a key feature to look for in a shopping cart. While many shopping carts offer the ability to create a great looking site, what is the point if no one can find it? While there are a lot of things you can to do create interesting content, your shopping cart’s technology controls search-engine indexing.

2) RSS Capability
Really Simple Syndication or RSS is a format for distributing web content. RSS feeds can be used by your business to advertise promotions, new products and press releases. RSS feeds attract the interest of the search engines and they reach new audiences, making them a powerful marketing tool. They also allow you to tap into the power of the social media networks. For example, you import your RSS feeds to Twitter or Facebook, allowing you to tap into your target market

3) Automated Cross-selling
When a customer looks at a product page or places a product in the shopping cart, a shopping cart with automated cross selling can recommend related products based on the customers’ own shopping behavior, resulting in higher sales per visit. For example, if a customer if your customer views a digital camera, it will suggest accessories such as a camera bag or memory card.

4) Coupon Code and Discount Support
Everybody loves a great deal. A good shopping cart should support coupons codes with flexible options so you can offer a variety of promotions to your customer, such as volume pricing.

5) Customer Review
Strong customer reviews encourage more sales. Your shopping cart should integrate customer reviews, either supporting a review system itself or easily connecting to a third-party customer review tool.

There are many shopping carts available. Here is a list of some shopping cart options that may meet your business needs:

Interspire / Big Commerce

Once you have selected a cart that suits your needs, the next step is determining how to integrate your shopping cart with your accounting system. eBridge allows you to seamlessly integrate your front- and back-end business processes, connecting your web store to your accounting software’s order, inventory and fulfillment systems. If you need help integrating your shopping cart to your accounting system, just give us a call at 1-800-755-6921 x270
