The Metal ERP + E-Commerce
Software Solution
The INVEX metal software combined with a ready-to-use E-Commerce solution provides a unique combined solution in the metal industry space. As quotes and orders are submitted by customers through the e-commerce platform, these orders are then created, fulfilled, and invoiced by the metal ERP software. Customers can also browse inventory, for items such as stainless angles or steel sheets, before adding the items to an easy-to-use cart.
Personalization & Extensions
INVEX provides a flexible and powerful toolbox to extend the use and functionality of INVEX that enables each customer to create customized data, processes and documents to meet unique business requirements. This includes creating user-defined fields (UDF) and adding these fields to the grids or screens, adding panels to existing screens, and customizing business documents, tags, and labels.
API’s to Empower Developers
The INVEX metal ERP provides a broad set of real-time data interchange methods and a suite of web standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that work with external software systems to enable customers to further extend the INVEX application. Over 50 API’s are available.
Product line-based features
Each product line can have order fulfillment and process flow differences. A general metal service center needs to quote a saw-cut angle quickly and have it cut in the warehouse for same-day or next-day delivery. A flat rolled service center that produces finished slit coils in advance, to a blanket Sales Order, has its own unique requirements. Best-in-class metal ERP software
Optimized for efficiency
EDIX is an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) ready platform that makes it faster and easier to implement EDI. EDIX helps our customers harness the power of EDI to connect to customers, outside processors, and vendors through a simple and adaptable mechanism that is fully integrated with the INVEX metal software. This approach streamlines communications between INVEX, the EDI engine, and the metal companies’ trading partners, using EDI standards such as X12, OPS, and customized transaction exchanges.
No part numbers
The inventory control and access methods used in the metal industry are unique. INVEX inventory coding is based on the metal product’s native attributes that are familiar within the industry. INVEX eliminates the use of traditional, complex, cumbersome part numbers. The industry rarely refers to inventory by a generic part number, and a wide variety of product dimensions would require hundreds of thousands of part numbers. Best-in-class metal ERP software
