3rd Party Integration
For users of Access Supply Chain software, 'packaged' certainly does not mean 'restricted'. The range includes up to 28 business modules, but also has endless capacity for integration with companion products and other 'Best of Breed' solutions.
This integration can take place on several different levels. At one end of the scale, you can choose to exchange data between your Supply Chain solution and your other business applications using a range of integration tools. At the other end, you can decide to fully embed Supply Chain functionality into your specialist applications... such that you cannot tell where one solution begins and the other ends.
You decide how many areas of activity your solution controls and how many applications feed into it. For its part, Access software will always display endless flexibility and an insatiable appetite for your business data.
Custom & Vertical Solutions
Access Supply Chain solutions are amongst the most connectable on the market. The Access SDK includes an API (Application Programming Interface) for development and integration of SQL applications, and a COM toolkit for linking your solution with all COM compliant applications. In addition, we provide a Transaction Broker, capable of integrating every other type of ODBC database, along with e-mail, XML and Internet applications.
Using these facilities, data generated on external systems can be updated securely, seamlessly and in real-time, straight into the relevant modules... and on into your daily workflow. At the same time, key elements of the software you already own can be embedded into Access and vice versa - Access components can be embedded into your existing business applications.
This flexibility makes Supply Chain software ideal for use in all parts of the manufacturing and distribution industry, even those areas traditionally dominated by specialist applications. Here are just a few of the sectors in which it has been successfully implemented:
