Seven reasons we can help you,
no matter what industry you’re in.
A common goal among companies is to get the right tools for the job. Frankly, that doesn’t help if your team finds it difficult to use. Adoption rate and vendor onboarding are key to the overall effectiveness of any supply chain solution.
Our goal is not just to provide you with the login but to empower all your employees to maximize their time and effectiveness in managing the flow of goods.
Easy Deployment
PartnerLinQ is designed for rapid implementation. Its scalability and flexibility make it a perfect solution for organizations of any size. Capable of processing thousands of transactions per hour, we support both VAN-based and direct-to-partner connections. And, because it allows for easy interface with existing EDI investments, you are up and running faster than you ever thought possible, at lower cost, and with less stress.
We don’t believe in forcing a square peg into a round hole. Choose “access anywhere” convenience and low ownership cost on Microsoft Azure with cloud deployment. Or opt for enhanced security compliance with on-premise implementation. Either way, PartnerLinQ gives you the freedom to use whatever works best for your ecosystem.
Centralized Management
Get the full picture. See how your supply chain is doing at any point in time. Access your customized dashboard from wherever there’s internet. Using the platform’s centralized management console, PartnerLinQ users can easily check out shipment progress and vendor performance at a glance.
The user-friendly console design gives you up-to-date statistics on the progress of both inbound and outbound transactions. It also helps you identify outliers and their causes, raising a red flag to alert you something might go wrong. With real-time insights, you can address errors before they happen.
Easy Partner Onboarding
Connecting you with your business partners is what we do best. After all, it’s in our name. With our powerful business rule engine and extensive rule library, we make the process easier. You can customize existing rules to the specific needs of each of your trading partners. The rule validation can be configured at the partner, document, segment, or field level, giving you fine-grained control. Once configured, this validation logic can be saved to be reused with other partners and documents without resorting to hardcoding or code duplication.
PartnerLinQ supports communication with partners that already have EDI systems and direct B2B transfers to and from non-EDI organizations. It supports a wide range of EDI formats and other common data interchange standards like XML and JSON ensures reliable and secure communication with any partner organization. All major transport protocols, including AS2, EDIFACT, FTP, SMTP, SFTP, and X12, as well as custom formats, are also supported.
Job Scheduling and Reporting
Do you need to process a higher transaction volume daily or weekly? Our job scheduler and bulk transfer capabilities can help. Your business operations team can automate sending data at a specific time and create batch jobs, enabling multiple transactions to be processed at once. That means your trading partners always get mission-critical data when they need it.
Our solution comes with pre-configured reports that give you quick access to details about key EDI metrics. In addition to these out-of-the-box reports, you can customize what you see by generating ad hoc reports. Quickly combine different sets of measures and dimensions to examine nearly every aspect of EDI operations.
ERP Integration
Using EDI solutions to connect ERP makes transaction processing much easier. Our platform integrates natively with Microsoft Dynamics 365. We also have dozens of prebuilt integrations with more than 73 different enterprise systems including TMS, WMS, ERP, PLM. Our solution operates as an independent subsystem that remains decoupled from your ERP deployment, which means that each platform can be updated and reconfigured independently without requiring modifications to the other.
You’ll see our graphical data mapper conveniently converts data between ERP and EDI formats and automatically connects child elements where suitable. Data fields are displayed in an easy-to-use format, so you can create drag-and-drop connections between source and target fields. Search functionality helps you easily find elements in large data mappings. We also provide support for integration with eCommerce platforms like Shopify, Magento, and many others. With built-in support, you can shift seamlessly between EDI, ERP, and API-based integrations.
Scalability
Good news! Your business is growing fast, and so are your supply chain demands. We know high-transaction environments like retail, can experience peak load of more than 10x. With an elastic design and architecture based on Azure Cloud, the PartnerLinQ platform handles large, unexpected transaction volume spikes to ensure your business doesn’t miss a beat.
We can seamlessly go from a few daily transactions to millions without user intervention. So whether your business hits unexpected volumes or is impacted from supply chain events, the platform will take care of that automatically. You don’t want to miss opportunities because your technology can’t keep up with your growth. We’ll be there for you today and in the future to meet all the demands in between.
