"Our experience with the Essent integration team and the Essent OrderTrax Network is that there’s no better way to make integration easy and effective."
Supplier Innovation Line is now offering distributors real-time, around-the-clock visibility to Product Data, its fourth integration endpoint, to save time and make more efficient partnerships.
Essent® implemented the Product Data integration for Innovation Line via the Essent OrderTrax® Network using PromoStandards. Distributors integrated with Innovation Line now can look up complete, accurate, real-time Product Data at any time.
The advantage of integration is that the information needed to move transactions forward can be shared automatically and in real-time, rather than slowly and manually through countless calls and emails.
"Innovation Line is building upon its award-winning customer service by automatically providing real-time access to the information that our distributor partners most often want to know. Integration via OrderTrax saves us time and creates more efficient transactions partnerships,” Innovation Line Director Andy Quan said.
Innovation Line previously made Inventory, Order Status, and Order Shipment Notification available to distributor partners by integrating via the Essent OrderTrax Network and PromoStandards.
"Our experience with the Essent integration team and the Essent OrderTrax Network is that there’s no better way to make integration easy and effective. Essent handles the implementation and we simply invite our distributor partners to connect for more seamless relationships,” Quan said.
Innovation Line is actively seeking to share the time-saving service with more distributors, who can contact Essent to get started.
Inventory, Order Status, Order Shipment Notification, Product Data, Media Content, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Product Pricing & Configuration, and Product Compliance can be shared via OrderTrax using PromoStandards.
Promotional products companies have used 13,000-plus trading partner connections on the OrderTrax Network to perform more than $3 billion in commerce since 2010, including 50 million PromoStandards transactions.
