Jim2 eBusiness Connect
Jim2 eBusiness functionality consists of two basic parts. The back end is Jim2 eBusiness Connect, which enables automated stock feeds from your suppliers, and the electronic sending of purchase orders to them, among other things. Jim2 eBusiness Connect typically runs as a Windows Service on your Jim2 file server. Jim2 eBusiness Connect logs on via Jim2 Server, but does not reduce your user count.
To summarise, Jim2 eBusiness Connect allows you to:
Receive Electronic Stock Feeds
Receive automated electronic stock feeds from suppliers with stock information including stock codes, descriptions, images, pricing and availability.
Send Electronic Purchase Orders
Instantly send purchase orders electronically directly to your vendor, eliminating any re-keying and reducing errors. See Add Vendor Details with instructions on how to set up.
Within the purchase order screen there will be a button called eSend at the bottom of the form.
Monitor Virtual Warehouses
See exactly what you and your suppliers have in stock, allowing quicker purchasing decisions based on both price and availability.
Make Real Time Stock Enquiries
Allows you to enquire as to the current price and availability in real time (vendor permitting).
Manage Rules
Allows the creation and application of an unlimited number of rules. Rules are applied upon receiving a stock feed. Typical uses of rules include hiding stock or groups of stock that you don't want to sell, automatic updating of prices for known stock, and much more.
Jim2 Client (Front End)
The front end is what you see in the Jim2 client. You can access eBusiness from the Nav Tree or from the ribbon tabs at the top of the screen. Under eBusiness you will see three options, Vendor Stock Feeds, Customer Stock Feeds and eBusiness Transactions.
