Supplier Integrations

With ECI solutions, you can submit the purchase order via the (Private Supply Network) PSN integration where it's customized to each supplier's required format and sent to the supplier. The purchase order acknowledgment is then made available for you through PSN.

Working with your ERP system, supplier integrations leverage EDI to electronically send purchase orders to wholesalers and supplier and receive acknowledgments. These are sophisticated systems that review the order, check availability, select the warehouse to be used, and send back a detailed acknowledgement almost immediately. This knows every product ordered and its availability. The warehouse has what is needed for delivery without any human intervention.

Yes. Integration also helps level the playing field if you're an independent dealer. Big companies like Amazon have resources that you just can't match. But if you partner with major wholesalers and suppliers in the industry, you can compete with national competitors. You can even go head-to-head with many of the internet resellers and come out on top.

Using integration in your ERP system can remove all the manual tasks for faster ordering processing. Create a purchase order (PO) in your ECI ERP and send electronically via PSN to the vendor. The vendor’s acknowledgment returned provides cost and availability,

Integration is important, especially with big orders. Imagine you have an order with 2,000 lines. If you had to enter all that information by hand, it could take a few hours. Plus, when doing things manually, there's a chance of a mistake, like mixing up numbers. But with integration, orders are sent to suppliers electronically, without any errors.
