In today’s retail environment the ability to order goods over the internet has become increasingly important to the consumer. It is more convenient, less time consuming, and prices are easier to compare, without involving any leg work. Anyone with a PC can order goods over the net without having to leave their own front door, and have the convenience of their order delivered directly to them. It is becoming normal business practice for every business to have a website and web ordering system in place to ensure that they maintain their competitive edge. However this has also increased the pressure placed upon companies to achieve ever tightening order to delivery timescales. Understandably, this is putting supply chain professionals under ever increasing pressure to meet customer /supplier demands. Having a stand alone website is not particularly helpful as it means manual order entry, which can be a tedious and time consuming process, subject to human error. One way to alleviate the pressure is to put a truly transactional website in place that is fully integrated into the ERP (Business and Financial System), Order Processing and Warehouse Management System. Order entry becomes automatic, financial ledgers are updated, invoices are sent to the customer and pick notes are produced by the warehouse management system and sent to the RF Directed or Voice Picking system for picking, without any human intervention. Proteus® has experience of providing eCommerce solutions that meet the requirements of Supply Chain businesses. Our solutions are secure and efficient. They can operate with clients existing ERP systems or Proteus® in either stand alone, loosely coupled or tightly integrated modes for real time updates and interaction with the core database, using XML and the power of SonicMQ messaging.
