Shipping Solution, EDI Solution, WMS Solution

Posted on by 105

We are fully integrated with GP Dynamics 10 (GL, SO, PO, Inventory) but need to enhance our systems with an automated shippping solution, an EDI solution and a WMS solution.  Since none of these are GP modules, we are seeking a 3rd party solution that seamlessly integrates with GP and hopefully, with the other modules as these are transaction related.

Does anybody have any suggestions or experience in implementing and working with any of these solutions?

    A little bit of self promotion if I may...Perceptant lays claim to integrating it's SaaS EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)service to both the largest and smallest Microsoft Dynamics implementations in the World. In addition, we have off the shelf connectors for most WMS packages and pre-mapped messages that cover the majority of transactions. Everything is delivered on-demand via SaaS (simply plug in to our cloud) at a fixed price (immaterial of EDI volume!) and implemented within 14 days from receipt of message guidelines. If at some point in the future you decide to change your back-office systems, we'll also swop our service over to your new applications free of charge. If potential customers or partners would like further information please feel free to contact me directly.

     Richard what software package do you recommend if we only need the shipping solution.

    We have decided to go down the path of Shipping, EDI and WMS with V-Synch and Acellos.  We are in the process of implementing V-ship now and once up and working, we will tackle the EDI solution.


    thanks for the input.

     Hi Sterling,

    RedTail Solutions has a managed EDI solution that is integrated to GP.  We've worked with a number of shipping solutions, pack apps and more robust WMS packages.  While I regret that we haven't worked with Richard yet ;), the pay per use model is nice fit for companies looking to reduce cost associated with managing their own EDI operation.

    Best,

    Chris Brunelli

    I won't deny that it is pricey, but you have to look at the work it completes for you!  The shipping system is great.  It fulfills the orders for invoicing, if you scan as you pack it confirms the right parts are in the box (decreased incorrect shipments for one client from 10% to .02%), and preps the ASN

    With the ASN automatically generated, you get them out faster and more accurately.  This means fewer chargebacks.

    Just a tip... if you cut costs and need to implement all three solution individually, it may cost more in the long run in order to ensure that all three systems integrate properly and run smoothly.   

    I've worked extensively with vSync products for Dynamics GP and highly recommend them.

    Thanks Richard,

    These are actually guys that I have narrowed down to and have had extensive conversations with Bryan.  While I believe that they have a great solution, it is pricey.

    Both of the suggested systems handle only part of your needs.  Contact V-Sync about their products.  They have an integrated EDI and Shipping system and are now owned by Accellos that owns Radio Beacon and MaxData, both good WMS systems.  They should be able to get you a solid solution.

    I have all of the products mentioned above installed at client sites.  The nice thing is the shipping system generates ASNs needed by EDI and is completely integrated.  They talk to various carriers and rate the shipments and post charges and tracking info back to GP perfectly.

    Call them and use my name.  Their number is 614-261-0058.  Ask for Bryon Lynch.

    We are currently running Starship for our shipping integration. We haven't had any problems with it once we took it out of our terminal server environment and installed it on local machines. For our WMS, we are using a product call Data Collection from Salespad (www.salespad.net). I must say that the cost to implement is incredibly inexpensive, compared to other WMS applications, and it works perfectly for us. The Salespad guys are awesome to work with as well. Salespad also has a shipping integration product, but last time I checked, it wasn't as full featured as Starship. We do not use EDI so I cannot help there. Ron
