The aim of the integration is to ensure that processes are automated properly and that all the systems involved are integrated. The reason for this is obvious: consistent, fast and error-free processes form the basis of a successful marketplace business.
But the devil is in the detail: in order to automate sales processes easily and to ensure that the information exchange between the systems runs smoothly, a number of challenges need to be addressed in advance. To help with this, FIS Informationssysteme und Consulting GmbH – a part of the FIS Group along with Medienwerft – has developed FIS/TradeFlex, a suitable solution for SAP users.

MANY CHALLENGES – ONE SOLUTION: FIS/TRADEFLEX

Each marketplace is different and has different requirements. This applies not only to the preparation of product information, but primarily to integration into your own system. This is done via interfaces, which, on the one hand, are different for each marketplace and, on the other hand, are frequently changed by the marketplace providers.

For companies that already use SAP, FIS offers an optimal solution for linking the ERP system to online marketplaces: FIS/TradeFlex enables fast and easy connection to online marketplaces and is seamlessly integrated into the respective SAP system and process landscape while delivering a high performance. And this is with almost no personnel usage on the part of the company, because thanks to FIS/TradeFlex, the resource-intensive development of your own interfaces and the development of market-specific know-how is no longer necessary.

From placing products on marketplaces with the correct current availability, through to the automated sales process and possible cancellations, to offsetting open items in accounting, FIS/TradeFlex ensures simple ordering processes, shorter delivery times and uncomplicated returns and thanks to automated processes, these are so quick that customer satisfaction increases.
