Your customer relationships depend on your performance as a supplier and your ability to comply with their procurement mandates-in short, being easy to do business with.
A proven method to enhance supplier performance and responsiveness is to link your trading partners’ supply chain systems to your Sage X3 environment using the application programming interfaces (APIs) they have published. Benefits of these integrations can include:
Lower order processing costs
Faster order retrieval
The ability to transfer data automatically between diverse systems without retyping
On-demand fulfillment updates
Accurate inventory visibility
The opportunity to manage trading partner data movement by exception for enhanced efficiency and speed
For example, suppliers can connect directly to trading partners’ eCommerce storefronts using APIs, enabling them to update inventory levels or order status anytime. Many major retailers also publish APIs that make it easy for suppliers to automatically print formatted shipping labels in their desired format.
