How Does it Work?

Proprietary LogicSync building blocks take EDI business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, catalogs, promotions and deals and bridges them with your in-store CATAPULT system, thus creating a true "dock-to-stock" solution that can be a transformational store- level supply chain automation tool never before available to SMB retail businesses. LogicSync intelligently routes these documents and performs automated functions in your store, streamlining many mundane and time-consuming business processes that keep you and your staff from focusing on high-value, growth-oriented business activities.

What is it?

Supplier Gateway is an innovative, cloud-based portal that connects independent retailers with their trading partners in a highly scalable and secure infrastructure. Leveraging existing EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) technologies as its foundation, the LogicSync powered Gateway solution allows you to freely exchange electronic business documents. It's like having your own personal EDI department working for you! But that's just the beginning. The exchange of electronic documents between trading partners is nothing new; the magic happens when the data in those documents work for you, saving countless hours in non-value add, redundant labor. It also saves big when it comes to preventing bottom-line costing mistakes.

"The time savings with receiving alone is enormous. The ECRS Gateway service in collaboration with LogicSync has enabled us to begin an automated receiving process and move towards perpetual inventory management for the first time. With the visibility this technology provides, we can manage our margins and make sure we have products our customers want."

"Managing ten (10) stores with full-perpetual inventory is not easily achievable without Catapult and Supplier Gateway. Currently 70% of our inventory is ordered through Supplier Gateway from our two main suppliers. We could open another store just from what we saved in inventory related costs since implementing this system."
