Modernize Your Supply Chain Data Integration with Automation
Shelton, Conn. (PRWEB) March 20, 2017 -- Logicbroker is today announced the release of Version 5 (V) of their namesake platform, Logicbroker, to continue providing the most complete drop ship automation and supply chain data integration and management platform for digital commerce.
Logicbroker continues to lead the industry with its fresh approach and modernized technology; 100 percent multitenant, cloud-based and built natively in Azure cloud. Logicbroker has taken advantage of Azure’s native functionalities, including Blob storage and a search index engine that processes millions of records within minutes. In addition to the scalability, Logicbroker provides one of the most secure platforms on the market, encrypting data both at rest and in transition as opposed to many other traditional solutions, where data is usually unencrypted at rest.
“We evaluated many EDI providers and found Logicbroker to be the company with the strongest technology stack,” said Phil Guindi, vice president of platform and solution design at Ingram Micro Commerce & Fulfillment Solution. “Their web service (APIs) eliminates EDI integration headaches, lowers costs and improves time to market.”
One of the major enhancements found in Version V is providing new endpoints in the platform API commerceapi.io. These endpoints were built as a result of valued feedback from the growing Logicbroker API development community. Retailers and brands can now set up integrations in just days by leveraging a complete suite of end points for order processing and drop ship automation. These businesses can now stay connected to their supply chain data in real-time with webhooks for instant visibility to the order lifecycle.
Logicbroker has empowered the digital commerce community with these flexible API endpoints:
• Acknowledgement
• Activity Event
• Attachment
• Document
• Inventory
• Invoice
• Order
• Partner
• Return
• Shipment
• Status
• Webhook
“Our LogicBroker app for Salesforce.com allows our customers to quickly become EDI capable and automate key aspects of their eCommerce businesses,” said Jon Jessup, CEO of Cloud Conversion. “By leveraging the Logicbroker APIs, retailers can sync orders directly from Salesforce to their trading partners and automatically get tracking information back into Salesforce. And the best part is it works 100 percent of the time.”
Logicbroker continues to disrupt the EDI industry by eliminating all transaction fees as a part of its subscription model. Logicbroker clients enjoy a predictable monthly subscription without having to calculate complex document, line, and kilo character charges. Logicbroker customers can now also easily search within their aggregated EDI documents using the new Logicbroker search engine. Imagine having a Google-like interface to find all documents that contain certain product descriptions, UPCs, a street address, or any other field transacted within the EDI documents.
“We had an aggressive timeline,” said Tommy Chang, vice president of eCommerce and Digital Marketing at Misfit. “We avoided the unknown by going with the proven Logicbroker solution and enjoyed operational support beyond the technology.”
In this release, Logicbroker unveiled its enhanced reporting and analytics suite of tools. SCOR (Supplier Compliance and Operations Reporting) offers real-time visibility to all drop ship transactions, proactive monitoring to maintain compliance, and key performance indicators to ensure vendor compliance. The reporting suite was designed to quickly and easily manage exceptions and proactively field issues to protect the customer experience.
“With Logicbroker’s superior technology and crisp onboarding process, we were able to light up close to 100 drop ship suppliers on an aggressive timeline,” said Rachel De Los Santos, vice president of operations and logistics at theshops.tv.
Creating features for the technical community is a key strategy within the Logicbroker roadmap. Two key features in this release are VFTP and XML Mangler. VFTP (or virtual FTP) is a response to the FTP community that continues to be a big portion of the supply chain data communication protocol. Built using a proprietary algorithm and toolset, Logicbroker provides a secure FTP in its platform by emulating all the features needed in a traditional secure FTP server, plus ensuring data is secure at rest and a direct interface to the Logicbroker API. Under the hood, subscribers have complete visibility to all FTP activities through the Logicbroker web portal. Activities such as who uploads and downloads documents, what types of documents were uploaded and downloaded and simulating functional acknowledgements upon successful downloads.
“The choices of integration with Logicbroker and the flexibility in their interfaces have enabled me to get my clients live very quickly for their EDI integrations,” said Carlo Cotrone from Microsoft Dynamics Development Architect.
XML Mangler allows Logicbroker customers to exchange documents via XML in any format. This is a powerful feature for retailers and brands that are XML capable such as SAP iDOC, cXML or any other proprietary XML format. Logicbroker mangles or maps all various XML formats into one standard canonical format and is made available in its API, the Logicbroker Portal, or as EDI/XML/JSON/CSV. In addition to this flexible XML format, customers can take advantage of the variety of communication protocols such as AS/2, https post, webservice, secure FTP, among many other industry standard protocols.
