Now, files can be manually loaded using the Web application or by File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over the internet.
• In addition to existing integration modules for SAGE X3, and Actinix, the version includes the new integration Module for Keystone's KHAOS Control. The integration modules automatically import customer sales order and purchase order information for picking and receiving goods, and automatically push back stock levels to these systems on adjustments to stock in the Warehouse. The additional use of Peoplevox's Warehouse Management Web Service allow external software to push information into the WMS Database programmatically.
• The Web Service has been extended with two new methods to provide stock availability changes, and sales order status changes. The new stock availability method provides positive or negative adjustments to stock quantity by individual transaction, so that external systems can receive stock figures either by individual adjustments or by total stock level quantities.
