How we integrate
Netix Flow and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Analyse business processes
The first step in any EDI integration project is to analyse the existing processes and determine how EDI can be used to automate and streamline these. Cegedim e-business will equip you with a detailed plan outlining their process including a clear scope of the work they'll complete, timelines, cost estimates and any technical requirements or considerations. All this is to make your integration process as smooth and easy as possible.
Identify EDI messages
Then we need to identify the specific EDI requirements for your business. It's important to note that EDI messages and protocols are typically determined by your trading partners' requirements. However, for our clients utilising Business Central integrations, the following are commonly found within their system: Sales Orders, Order Responses, Delivery Notes (ASNs), Invoices and Forecasts.
Configure Netix Flow
After determining whether you need a standardised or bespoke solution, we will configure Netix Flow according to your specific requirements. We utilise pre-built integrations to seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This approach facilitates a fast and effortless deployment, allowing you to get integrated and start trading quickly.
Test and validate
Before going live, the EDI integration will need to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it is working as expected and that data is being properly exchanged between systems. The integration will be checked for errors and discrepancies which might include validating data mapping, identifying any missing or incorrect fields, and resolving any issues that may arise. By simulating real-world scenarios to ensure that the entire EDI process, from message creation to integration with your internal systems, functions smoothly.
Ongoing maintenance and support
Once your system is live, we want to ensure your integration continues to operate as smoothly as possible and any issues are addressed promptly. This requires a member of your business to constantly review the system and check for errors. We suggest proactive maintenance and support like our managed service that provides Netix specialists who will take the weight of this off your company.
