The link between your eCommerce web application,Dynamics GP ECommerce Enabled Warehouse Management System Articles WMS and Supply Chain Management is your Corporate ERP application.  Let’s assume for the purposes of this publication that your ERP and MRP platform is Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known and popular under Great Plains Dynamics name.  We are also favoring extension approach versus implementing standalone WMS or ecommerce, where in ecommerce we recognize the trend where customers have already invested in web site programming and ecommerce shopping cart integrations, such as Magento or ASP .Net Storefront and would like to preserve development investments:
1. eCommerce add-on for Microsoft Dynamics GP.  Our ecommerce philosophy is simple – modern ecommerce shopping cart are very advanced and allow you to do most of your ecommerce needs, where your Accounting system is in reality back office, pulling ecommerce transactions into its Sales Order Processing module.  This approach is very simple in implementation and savvy budget wise.  eCommerce module has setup wizard, allowing you to pick your ecommerce shopping cart (Magento, ASP .Net Store Front and some others the most popular).  If you think that you have very serious budget, where Microsoft Dynamics GP Distribution modules, such as Inventory Control with Item Catalogs and Pricing should be made the masters – we can work with you in ecommerce solution business model, where we are modifying ecommerce extension logic to fit your custom requirements
2. Warehouse Management System.  This add-on is more conservative and its WMS client application runs on the Barcode scanner LCD screen with the interface reminding you the good old days of DOS and characters user interfaces.  WMS has server and client applications, and the server send transactions via ODBC connection (and our proprietary Order Connector technology) to Microsoft Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing and Inventory Control modules.  However, eCommerce chopping cart transactions are showing in SOP module in quasi or even real time to be scheduled for Fulfillment on the warehouse floor
3. Local WMS, Barcode custom extensions and eCommerce implementation options.  We don’t give up on local markets and we are not away to do nationwide only.  We are truly local in Chicago, Western Michigan, Southern California, Houston area of Texas.  If you are not in the listed areas, make your homework and let us know if you would need help, as remote support with short time local residency for Corporate ERP consultants is not a problem, even travel internationally
