Business Challenge

The trading partner requested Integra Optics be EDI compliant as soon as possible. Integra Optics requested the implementation be completed by September 1, 2017. The first test file was received from the trading partner on August 25, 2017 and all documents were mapped, tested and completed by September 1, 2017.

Solution

B2BGateway implemented an integration into Acumatica between Integra Optics and their trading partner in one week. This integration enabled Integra Optics to directly import purchase orders into Acumatica and export inventory updates, purchase order acknowledgments, and invoices out of Acumatica, eliminating the need for manual handling of data.

B2BGateway’s purchase order acknowledgement solution was especially unique because of the backorder business requirements applicable to Integra Optics. Integra Optics added a couple of custom fields in order to pass along the appropriate information to their trading partner regarding backorders. B2BGateway mapped for these additional fields resulting in concise purchase order and fulfillment information to be relayed back to the trading partner.

Business Benefits

B2BGateway’s EDI integration into Acumatica resulted in Integra Optics satisfying the trading partner’s tight timeframe and providing a customized solution for Integra Optics that eliminated the need for their staff to manually handle business transactions.
