Vendor
Gateway
(EDI)
EDI
(Electronic Data Interchange) was created to standardize and
automate
the transaction processes exchanged between companies as they do
business.
In a standard exchange cycle, where one company purchases something
from
another, the Buyer creates a Purchase Order and sends it to a
Vendor.
The Vendor receives the order information and uses it to fulfill the
order.
When the order ships, the Vendor notifies the Buyer of pertinent
shipping
information such as the ship date, the ship method, and when
applicable,
the tracking number. The Vendor will then create an invoice
and
send
it to the Buyer, completing the cycle.
The
RJR's Vendor Gateway
solution is a collection of modules
that interface EcometryTM
to standard EDI transactions. Each module processes one piece
of
an EDI transaction into or out of Ecometry.
Amazon
Interface
The
process was designed to
interface data
between an Ecometry user and Amazon.com’s Web Store front
system.
Payload file extracts
(product files) are
extracted from Ecometry and sent to Amazon.com, these extracts contain
all the
necessary data needed to populate Amazon’s site as well as
Order
transactions
and related data feeds.
Skymall
Interface
The SkyMall Interface
is a streamlined link to SkyMall for
Ecometry™
users who participate in their catalog.
The
program enables users
to receive orders in
BatchOrder™ (formally
TapeMACS) format from SkyMall, process them in Ecometry and report back
to SkyMall when they have been shipped. This then triggers a
payment
from SkyMall to the Ecometry user. The program also allows
returns
to be processed against SkyMall orders, and keeps all financial
information
accurate.
Prime-Vendor
Selection
This program allows
Ecometry™ users to automatically
reassign
the
primary
(drop-ship) vendors for selected products based on a cost factor, lead
days, and a user-defined “vendor preference." For
users of
RJR's Vendor Gateway (EDI), inventory levels are also available as a
selection
criteria.
