WMS Interfaces
Advances in technology have provided us with new means of communication, providing more accurate 'just-in-time' and 'real-time' information to be passed between you and your customer.
Vision EDI is an optional module for Vision Warehousing that provides EDI functionality allowing you to communicate with your customer more effectively.
We use traditional CSV alongside built-in XML technology. For those who haven't taken the same technological leap, we also provide Excel compatible data and PDF.
In order to keep flexibility for communications, we can send using costly traditional EDI, FTP or email.
Integration with Vision Warehousing also allows flexibility in which reports are sent out, and which recipients they are sent to. These options can be easily configured in the matrix within Vision Warehousing or through the 3PL customer website.

We also offer numerous reports already built into the system, covering the following key areas:
- Goods In

- Goods Out
- Security Audit Trails

3PL Client Access
Access to information is something that is essential to businesses.
Complete visibility is essential in today's environment. It's no longer acceptable to tell your clients that they'll receive their reports tomorrow - your customers want reports instantly.
Vision Customer Information System (VCIS) has been developed to provide instant access for your customers.
VCIS provides access to stock information, allowing customers to advise you of goods arriving and provide delivery destinations. Customers also have the ability to view and track selivery and order statuses, as well as access to over 30 reports which can be exported in Word, Excel, PDF & CSV. Accounts can also be managed.
VCIS is a web-based customer tool that is scalable, providing ease of use whether you have a handful of customers, or tens of thousands.
