Companies can connect three ways to the Elemica Connected Solution depending on their IT sophistication:

ERP Connect – Developed for large enterprises, trading partners exchange business documents with full B2B integration with the backend ERP system for large enterprises.

Simple Connect – Developed for small- to mid-sized businesses with limited IT support and/or business integration experience. Trading partners can exchange documents using file transfer methodology. Using an installed software application, transaction data files are automatically placed in a designated file folder within the application. The application utilizes security certificates to ensure the integrity of business transactions and then subsequently transfers the data to the trading partners asynchronously, based on a pre-defined time schedule.

Web Connect – Developed for small-sized businesses with minimal or no IT support, documents are exchanged via a web-based interface.

By connecting to Elemica, your company benefits from greater efficiencies and lower industry supply chain costs. Connection maintenance costs are held at a steady and manageable level for all ERP connections - no matter how many trading partners you link through the Network.
