mindWireless announced today a new B2B platform that manages procurement of wireless devices via cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language) integration with a client’s installed enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The cXML-driven B2B platform streamlines communication of business documents between procurement applications, e-commerce hubs and suppliers, effectively ending standalone wireless expense procurement. http://www.mindwireless.com
mindWireless, a technology and outsourcing firm that focuses solely on wireless expense management, selected cXML because of its wide acceptance as a B2B protocol. It enables application integration with the most popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems including SAP®, Oracle®, BizTalk®, and Commerce One®, and others. This integration results in reduced time to market and decreased implementation costs.
“Many of our larger clients have million dollar investments in their ERP systems and our B2B integration delivers greater benefit and value from that investment,” said Jeff Myers, Chief Technology Officer for mindWireless. “Whether we use their shopping cart or ours, the result is the same; the client gains an extra level of flexibility and detailed data for all wireless purchases by the user.”
Intermediary authentication and document transfer take place between mindWireless and the client ERP platform. Clients supporting the cXML standard interact with mindWireless’ B2B platform via Procurement Punch-out from their internal system. Users can browse custom catalog content as the B2B platform ensures seamless transfer of Shopping Cart, Purchase Order, Order Confirmation, Ship Notice, Invoice and various additional synchronization and integration cXML documents.
mindWireless B2B integration can generally be accomplished in as little as eight weeks, depending on the scope of the catalog. This B2B integration capability fits all ERP systems, with no preferred partners.
