VendorConnect

Save Time, Reduce Errors

Distributors, are you tired of taking the time to write up a sales order for your customer and a purchase order for your vendor? Are transcription errors in those processes costing you time and money? We have the solution. With WoodWare VendorConnect, our universal order import module and manufacturer’s catalog interface, you can create sales orders and purchase orders directly from your vendors’ data in seconds with 100% accuracy.

VendorConnect electronically integrates WoodWare and the manufacturer’s online systems, eliminating the need to rekey data. System syncing makes order entry quick, accurate, and greatly reduces costly data entry errors.

Most door and window manufacturers are adopting web-based electronic ordering systems. VendorConnect can import orders or quotes from uploaded XML files generated by various manufacturers’ software. This saves time and prevents transcription error at order entry time. Orders will be imported as status X so that you can review them, total and complete them before any paperwork gets printed.

• All the same terminology is being used on both sides of the systems: it will be entered the same in the vendor’s program as it will be in WoodWare.
• Purchase orders are less confusing to everyone
• Fewer send backs to the shop

Time savings is the biggest benefit to using VendorConnect. Our customers regularly report that tasks that normally take several people hours to complete now only take 15 minutes. In addition, as an owner/operator you can feel confident in order accuracy with no need for data rekeying.

VendorConnect delivers significant benefits to WoodWare software users. By automating the upload process, some users report cutting order entry time for these orders by as much as 50%. The module seamlessly imports XML (and more!) orders from manufacturers’ online ordering systems directly into WoodWare, giving order entry staff a strong incentive to use online ordering with confidence.

Because order data is automatically synchronized between both systems, VendorConnect dramatically reduces keying errors caused by double entry. For owners and operators, this means greater accuracy, increased efficiency, and peace of mind–without the need for manual rekeying.
