Versa Cloud ERP & Third Party Integrations: For Order Fulfillment

Increasingly Versa customers use the services of one or more 3rd party Logistics Providers (3PL) to fulfill customer Orders. Some Customers use 3PLs exclusively. Others use them in combination with their warehouses and retail locations. The Versa Cloud ERP system can support any variety of the above fulfillment locations and methods. This publication discusses how the Versa Cloud ERP system can be used by Customers that utilize the services of a 3PLs for customer Order Fulfillment by examining 3 business processes:

• Customer Order Fulfillment
• Purchasing
• Inventory Synchronization

 

Customer Order Fulfillment

Customer Order Fulfillment-related information can be exchanged between the business using Versa and their 3PL in multiple ways. For example, if the business uses Shopify the customer Order Fulfillment information may be received and updated by the 3PL by accessing the Shopify Platform. Following that, the Order
Fulfillment Data can flow from Shopify to Versa.

Or if the business uses a 3rd Party Shipping Solution like ShipStation the Customer Order Fulfillment information may be received and updated by the 3PL by accessing ShipStation.

Additionally, Customer Order Fulfillment information may be received and updated by the 3PL by accessing Versa directly as well.

Purchasing

For a 3PL to Fulfill a Customer’s Order they need the ability to Recieve and Stock goods that will be used for Customer Order Fulfillment. The diagram below shows the flow of information that is necessary for the business using Versa to Order goods from the Supplier and the 3PL that must Recieve and Stock the goods against
the Supplier Order.

Inventory Update

Finally, it is important to ensure that the Inventory tracked by the 3PL in their ERP system matches the Inventory in Versa. This requires that Versa allow for adjustment of Inventory levels as needed from time to time based on Inventory Level information received by the business from the 3PL.

Third-party Integrations Methods and Technologies

The previous sections of this publication discussed the 3 key groups of information flows between a business using Versa and their 3PL. These flows of information can occur manually via file transfer and emails for example or via automation that is achieved by integrating the Versa system with the system used by the 3PL. Many methods exist for integration and all are supported by the Versa Cloud ERP system including:

• Import/Export and file transfer
• Third-Party Connectors
• Integration via Third Party and e-Commerce and Shipping Software
• API-API
• EDI

EDI

A popular technology to integrate Versa with a 3PL is EDI. Implementing an EDI-based integration requires the customers to sign up with a 3rd Party EDI Gateway Provider like SPS Commerce. Some of the common Transaction Sets exchanged between Versa and a 3PL include the following:
