B2BGateway's New Client Portal Allows NetSuite Users to Easily Manage and
Connect to Any Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Trading Partners
BOSTON, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- B2BGateway, a product of Shannon
Systems LLC, and an integration solution partner of NetSuite Inc. since
2001, today announced the release of the B2BGateway client portal. NetSuite
Inc. is a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management
software suites that include Accounting / Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Ecommerce software for
small and midsized businesses and divisions of large companies. With the
B2BGateway client portal, NetSuite users are now able to utilize the client
portal to initiate new trading partner relationships, review data
transmitted, schedule transaction imports/exports and to cross reference
data.
B2BGateway has provided NetSuite users with EDI connectivity in North
America to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, General Motors and over 700 other
organizations. In the European Union, NetSuite users use B2BGateway to
connect to ASDA, Argos, Tesco, Carrefour, and many others. Any NetSuite
user who intends to sell products to these large organizations is required
to use EDI.
Utilizing the SuiteTalk Web services functionality that is provided
with NetSuite's SuiteFlex platform for business process customization,
integration and development, the newly released client portal takes a fully
automated process and gives the end user much more control over the
process. NetSuite users now have flexibility with the data that is input or
extracted from their system. In the past, input and output data was
pre-configured and fixed. The client portal now allows end users the
capability to modify data prior to import, to review statistical EDI
processing data and to review their transactions.
"The B2BGateway client portal truly empowers the NetSuite user," said
Steven Kohler, Director of Infrastructure Development at B2BGateway. "This
tool uses a combination of NetSuite Web services and B2BGateway
connectivity to control the EDI process. We have also added a
request-support feature and an alerts feature, to provide the end user with
more visibility. End-user reviews have stated that the client portal helps
to keep the user better connected and offers them more control."
Before 1999, when B2BGateway started providing fully managed EDI
solutions, the industry process of receiving electronic purchase orders and
sending electronic invoices could be difficult, costly and prone to errors.
B2BGateway simplified the entire EDI process by connecting to trading
partners through a central hub. The B2BGateway hub connects to all of the
trading partners and connects to the end user. Consequently, all of the
data translation required in EDI takes place in a central location.
"NetSuite has had a very long and successful relationship with
B2BGateway," said Craig West, Director of Channel Sales at NetSuite. "We're
excited that they continue to be committed to developing new and innovative
ways to make the EDI process easier and more practical for our NetSuite
users."
