ERP and Integration Services

AppsXone builds custom ERP systems and the connections an ERP needs: EDI with trading partners, Amazon and Walmart marketplace integration, QuickBooks and commercial ERP extension, and live carrier rate shopping. Every X12 file is read and generated inside your ERP using the EdiFabric .NET library, with no external translation service, whether the retailer connects directly or through its network.

WHAT THIS INVOLVES

The scope, and what has to get right.

  • Custom ERP development. Systems built around how your business actually operates, not bent to fit off-the-shelf software.
  • EDI and marketplace integration. Trading partner transaction sets and Amazon, Walmart and Shopify order flow, built directly into the ERP.
  • Commercial ERP extension. A browser layer and integrations over AccountMate, Sage or QuickBooks when replacing the ERP is not an option.
  • Shipping and carrier integration. Live rate-shopping and label generation across FedEx, UPS and USPS, built into the order flow.
HOW WE BUILD IT

Inside the system, not bolted on.

01

Direct, or through the retailer's network

Amazon Vendor Central and Adorama connect directly over SFTP, and marketplaces such as Walmart connect over API. Other retailers require their network, such as SPS Commerce, CommerceHub or Radial, and your ERP uploads its own files to that network, which validates and delivers them. Either way every file is read and generated inside your ERP using the EdiFabric .NET library, with no black box when something breaks.

02

Built inside your data model

Integration logic lives in your own ERP codebase, not a separate platform you have to keep in sync by hand.

03

Every transaction logged

Raw inbound and outbound data is stored alongside the parsed result, so a rejection is traceable to its cause, not reconstructed from memory.

ANCHOR CASE STUDY

Multi-marketplace ERP, EDI and logistics automation for a US consumer electronics brand

A US CONSUMER ELECTRONICS AND CAMERA BRAND · CONSUMER ELECTRONICS AND IMAGING, MULTI-CHANNEL RETAIL AND DISTRIBUTION
  • Off Sage, with the operating history intact: Customers, vendors, items and transaction history were migrated from Sage into a browser-based ERP covering order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, with a full general ledger, receivables and payables, so the business changed systems without losing its records.
  • Native EDI inside the ERP: Every X12 document, including 850, 855, 856, 810, 846 and 997, is read and generated inside the ERP using the EdiFabric .NET library, with the mapping in its own code and no external translation service. Amazon Vendor Central (Wholesale and Direct Fulfillment) and Adorama connect directly over SFTP. Best Buy Optics, Costco Wholesale and Colony Brands run through SPS Commerce. Best Buy Purchasing, Bluestem Brands, QVC, Staples Advantage and Staples the Office Superstore run through CommerceHub (Rithum). BI Worldwide and Mason Companies run through Radial. The ERP uploads its own files to each network's FTP and reads the files the network delivers, and the network validates them and delivers them to the retailer. HSN, Harco Industries, Knocking and Verdi Commerce run on automated file exchange over FTP. Scheduled EDI jobs poll FTP on schedules as short as every ten minutes. Walmart runs through its API. The Walmart API integration imports WFS and seller-fulfilled orders, sends shipment confirmation and tracking back for seller-fulfilled orders, marks WFS orders shipped and invoices them automatically, turns returns into credit memos, and creates WFS inbound shipments. Every job is tracked on a monitoring dashboard.
  • Every channel in one order queue: Amazon Vendor Central and Seller Central (SP-API), Walmart, HSN, QVC, Costco, several Shopify storefronts, eBay and direct wholesale accounts land in one system. Vendor Central purchase orders are accepted or rejected back to Amazon from the same screen that shows system, 3PL and allocated stock.
  • Multi-warehouse and multi-3PL stock: Real-time inventory across an owned warehouse operated with a logistics partner, a second third-party warehouse and Amazon fulfillment locations, with warehouse transfer orders and an Amazon inbound shipment request action for FBA.
  • FBA inbound shipment automation: End-to-end FBA inbound automation via SP-API: shipment creation, selection of the lowest-cost shipping plan, packing slip generation, label download and routing to the warehouse.

QUESTIONS

Common questions.

Do you replace our existing ERP, or build alongside it?

Depends on the system. A commercial ERP like AccountMate or Sage is usually extended rather than replaced. A system that has genuinely run out of room gets rebuilt around the same data your team already relies on.

How is this different from using SPS Commerce or a similar middleware provider?

A translation provider holds your mapping in its own tool, outside your system. We build the mapping into your ERP, where every X12 file is read and generated using the EdiFabric .NET library, with no external translation service. Where a retailer requires its network, such as SPS Commerce, your ERP uploads its own files and the network validates and delivers them.

Can you integrate Amazon, Walmart and QuickBooks all in the same system?

Yes. That combination is common: marketplace orders flowing in, inventory and accounting staying in sync, and shipping automated on top.

What if we are not sure whether the problem is the ERP or the integration?

Tell us what is breaking and we will look at both. Most of the time the ERP is fine and the gap is in how it talks to everything around it.

LET'S TALK

Which of these is the actual bottleneck?

Tell us whether it is a trading partner, a marketplace, or the ERP itself, and we will tell you honestly where to start.
