What do you need to get done?

Start with the problem in front of you

Most companies come to ECOM with one of five problems. Each card shows what we do about it and what changes for your business.

  • Meet partner requirements

    A retailer, carrier or manufacturer requires EDI, labels or ship notices, often by a deadline.

    ECOM onboards, tests and certifies each partner, and checks ship notices and labels against its rules.

    Go live with each partner on its schedule and help avoid compliance chargebacks.

    Trading partner onboarding

  • Automate transactions

    Orders, invoices and partner documents are still keyed in by hand.

    ECOM automates order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and drop-ship flows, including partners that send PDFs or email.

    Documents move without rekeying, so your team works on exceptions, not data entry.

    Order-to-cash automation

  • Connect business systems

    Your ERP, WMS, TMS or online store needs data from partners and from each other.

    ECOM connects SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite and other systems through EDI, APIs and file transfer.

    Partners and systems share one flow of data instead of exports and spreadsheets.

    ERP integration

  • Modernize EDI

    An aging EDI platform is hard to staff, upgrade or extend.

    ECOM upgrades, supports or migrates platforms such as IBM Sterling, without disrupting live partners.

    Live partners keep trading while your platform becomes easier to run and extend.

    EDI modernization

  • Outsource operations

    You need EDI to run reliably but would rather not staff it in full.

    ECOM runs EDI end to end, or its specialists extend your team, under a defined service agreement.

    Dependable EDI without hiring and keeping a full in-house team.

Four ways to automate. One foundation.

PRISM Supply Chain Automation Foundation

One platform beneath every option. Use one, or combine them for different partners and documents.

Compliance and actionable visibility

Connect order processing, shipping documentation, trading partner requirements, and performance monitoring through one coordinated workflow. These capabilities help teams improve shipment accuracy, reduce manual work, address compliance risks, and respond to exceptions before they affect customers.

  • Shipping Label Compliance

    Meet trading partner requirements for label formats, barcodes, and placement.

  • GS1 and GTIN Standards

    Support accurate product identification and validation against applicable GS1 standards and trading partner requirements.

  • ASN Accuracy and Compliance

    Validate advance ship notices against partner specifications, shipment details, and timing requirements to help prevent errors that trigger chargebacks.

  • Performance Scorecards

    Track customer, supplier, and carrier performance, highlighting exceptions, trends, and areas requiring attention.

  • Actionable Visibility

    Give teams clear dashboards and alerts to identify issues, prioritize corrective action, and monitor resolution.

Why ECOM

Over two decades of integration experience

  • Real-time marketing implementation

    “ECOM helped us with IBM Interact's real-time decisioning engine implementation. It allowed us to target personalized offers to visitors of inbound marketing channels.”
