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.
