There are many benefits of integrating Sage ERP ERP X3 and Clarity Connect. Let us share some recommended steps to enlighten your decision making.

Benefits of a Sage X3 Integration

Benefits of Integrating

When organizations assess the benefits of integrating their ERP & eCommerce sites, there are several factors to consider. Below, is an outline of recommended considerations and steps to complete:

Security

This is always a major concern for two-way integrations. eCommerce platforms and public facing storefronts typically have complex security constraints. Clarity has developed a middle ware layer called Clarity Connect that allows customers to securely push data to the Clarity Connect middleware that interfaces with Sage APIs. This allows data to go past the company firewalls, and isolate the data that needs to be sent and received from the public facing storefront. Clarity connect dramatically reduces the surface area for a potential security issue and creates an intermediate clearinghouse confirming data is securely pushed and pulled between the internal ERP platform and the external eCommerce storefront.

Shipping & Freight

Due to the nature of Clarity's past projects we have extensive experience with not just the standard UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL and other standard carrier integrations for shipping costs and package tracking and returns but we also specialize in helping setup and configure the pick list and label printing, scanning and implementation of the physical packing stations and picking process to improve internal workflows as well. In addition to being able to provide support for the actual order management and processing of orders for different carriers we also specialize in working with LTL freight carriers to automate the quotes, pricing, bill of lading setup and processing, obtaining customer specific pricing, and dynamically providing freight shipment status as well.

Back-Office Applications

Most mid to large sized businesses integrate several, if not dozens, of LOB applications to streamline their workflows and get the data where it needs to be. Some clients prefer a simple web interface for their sales team, such as a CRM or custom sales tool. This allows sales team members to focus just on their quotes and orders. In addition to Sage X3 and other eCommerce integrations, Clarity offers full customization capabilities to tightly integrate other LOB applications such as order fulfillment tools, support and ticketing tools, CRM and service tools, email and newsletter/marketing applications, etc. Imagine the sales insight your team would have if they were notified if a client hadn't logged in for more than 90 days, if another client was purchasing 150% more than their normal monthly purchases, and hundreds of other scenarios.

Performance

Sage X3 instances are usually secured in a different physical location than the public-facing website. Without a middle ware layer, this would potentially cause major lags in data load times and other performance metrics. Clarity Connect enables a rapid load time and intelligent refreshing of externally facing data to reflect internal updates in real time. By effectively pushing updates on a real-time basis, details that would otherwise take minutes to load on the site now load in milliseconds as they're cached on the external interface. In addition, specific customer data that needs to be pulled from the ERP in real-time is pulled in dynamically using AJAX loading techniques to dramatically improve performance.

Taxes, Customs and Duties

Many companies operate abroad, but few currently operate with fully automated processes for their international transactions. Clarity includes eCommerce sales tax software that automates domestic taxes and integration with internal ERP tax tables, custom tax tables, and setting up external API integration but also offers extensive specialization in international taxes, customs and duties as well.

Specifically, Clarity delivers eCommerce tax softare as well as customs and duties integration to dynamically pull this information from the Sage ERP platform or enable third party integration for this component as well to pull the most up to date customs and duties data in real-time for global payments and ordering.

Quotes and Workflows

In addition to managing and placing orders, many business find their processes run smoothest with a streamlined human interaction to facilitate the process. This can apply for all orders or orders within a certain segment of business. In either case, Clarity Connect is able to pull in the Sage X3 sales order documents and help streamline the quoting workflow. In addition to helping with notification e-mails and embedding quotes, Clarity's Sage online store integration directly pulls quote status and allows the ERP system to trigger workflow steps. This reduces the chances of human error. Alternatively, some clients prefer a simple web interface for their sales team. This allows sales team members to focus just on their quotes and orders, instead of logging into the ERP system to manage this data. Connect’s middle ware tool updates your ERP system seamlessly.

Timeline and Risks

As a final consideration, we highly recommend a full internal audit of the prioritized list of requirements as well as an external review by an expert, like Clarity. This is vital to ensure your desired outcome. In addition, it's critical to establish timeline criteria if there are hard deadlines. Setting clear objectives for prioritized deliverables with clear contingency plans will help smooth the process significantly.
