Wider Webshop Connection
After the success of the Magento 1 connection MagentoShopConnect, developing a Magento 2 connection was a logical sequel. Epartment decided to broaden the webshop connection this time. Maarten Nijland from Epartment explains: “Customers and partners are keen to move away from rigid custom connections that make updates or renewals of systems unnecessarily complicated or even impossible. We saw a need for a standard coupling platform that allows various webshop systems to be flexibly connected to different ERP packages and related software. This is how Conneqt was born!”
Focus on E-Commerce
Epartment focuses on connecting e-commerce related software systems with Conneqt. “This is what we have been doing for 10 years and where we excel. Think of Magento 1 and Magento 2, but also other platforms for e-commerce are a possibility. In the back office, we can integrate not only accounting and ERP systems like AccountView, SAP Business One, Visma.net, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV, but also with PIM systems such as Akeneo,” says Maarten.
Setting Up Instead of Developing
Where integration was previously arranged via an extension in Magento, Conneqt is a middleware platform that encompasses all the logic for connecting. In Conneqt, connecting with an ERP system is now done with just a few mouse clicks. The Magento system is also barely burdened, which benefits speed. With one generic middleware layer, Epartment was able to keep development costs low, resulting in a very attractive pricing model.
For Large and Small
The system is suitable for both starting e-commerce businesses with just a few transactions per day and larger webshops or B2B portals that handle thousands of transactions per day. If desired, the customer can upgrade the platform with additional modules for, for example, customer-specific pricing, requesting quotes, or a scanning module.
Built from the Ground Up
By building an entirely new platform from the ground up, Epartment had the opportunity to think ‘out-of-the-box’. “Over the past 10 years, we have learned a lot about the do’s and don’ts of connecting e-commerce to ERP systems. So, Conneqt is an evolved product with proven technology. This also applies to our working method, which is based on all best practices from recent years. Customers receive an innovative solution where common hurdles have already been smoothed out,” says Maarten Nijland.
Latest Technologies
In developing Conneqt, the latest technologies have obviously been utilized. This resulted in a very fast, reliable, and excellently secured platform. Transactions are sent almost instantaneously via a secure connection, encrypted by 128 bits encryption, so no hacker can get a finger in between. Due to the generic nature of the Conneqt platform, aspects such as monitoring, notification, and logging have also been taken to a higher level. For example, think of automatic push notifications on your smartphone regarding erroneous orders or payments, so you can keep a close eye on every transaction. Or consider a personal, highly secure online environment, where you have full insight into your transactions, including standard reports. Everything has been considered.
Pilot Customers
