Navision Software has announced Commerce Gateway, a business-to-business solution that opens up Navision Financials to electronic exchange of trading documents. Commerce Gateway helps mid-sized companies easily take advantage of new opportunities for business-to-business collaboration.
Commerce Gateway builds on the strengths of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000, which acts as a universal translator to allow virtually any two systems to exchange documents. The exchange of information in Commerce Gateway is handled in a graphical user interface, which makes it very easy to administrate the system.
"Commerce Gateway will make it possible for our mid-market customers to participate cost-effectively in the supply chains of much larger companies," says Navision Software managing director Keith Mullan. "These supply chain masters typically dictate costly and complex transaction standards. With Commerce Gateway, mid-market companies can leverage the Internet to accommodate the changing requirements of any partner quickly, resulting in many new revenue opportunities."
Basilica LTD, one of the fastest growing IT resellers in the UK has already begun to take advantage of the benefits of Commerce Gateway.
"The future belongs to companies that collaborate electronically with their trading partners," says James Frost, e-commerce project manager at Basilica. "Achieving such integration will assist organizations in streamlining business processes and reducing transaction costs.
"Commerce Gateway is the key that will unlock the benefits of supply chain integration for Basilica. It provides a cost effective and industry standard platform that we can use to communicate electronically with our trading partners," Frost says.
Commerce Gateway will offer companies greater flexibility in meeting the demands of their trading partners, regardless of the industry they are in, the system they use or the standards that their partners require. Commerce Gateway supports the most common trading documents, such as purchase and sales orders, invoices and quotes.
