E-Commerce
More than ever, customers, vendors, and supply chain partners are recognizing that e-commerce is a fast, efficient, convenient way to do business. E-commerce has evolved well beyond web-based catalogs and shopping carts. Integration of e-commerce web sites with back-office accounting, order processing, and inventory systems allows customers to do much more than simply order online. Now customers can check the status of their orders, see available inventory quantities, establish recurring orders, review their account and order history, and more. And supply chain partners are replacing their traditional EDI transaction systems with Internet-based business-to-business systems that are more adaptable to new and changing trading partner requirements, and are more efficient, and much less expensive to operate.

But for many companies, the path to successful e-commerce systems can be confusing, difficult, and prohibitively expensive.

Dynamics NAV makes implementing e-commerce easy and affordable through several solutions for customer self-service and trading partner automation.

Trading Partner Automation
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Commerce Gateway
Fact Sheet

It's not always easy to implement a business-to-business (B2B) solution, although the advantages of automating trade processes may be obvious. Large companies can absorb the costs of expensive, inflexible and complex e-commerce solutions, but those costs are simply impractical for smaller companies. Commerce Gateway puts business-to-business collaboration within reach of middle market companies.

Commerce Gateway is a B2B solution that opens up Microsoft Dynamics NAV Attain to the electronic exchange of trading documents without bombarding you with the complex details of EDI technology.

Commerce Gateway can help you:

Participate as a supply chain partner cost effectively

Set up new agreements and map transactions easily

Adapt to changing requirements of any partner quickly

Based on the widely accepted eXtensible Markup Language (XML), this fully integrated, cost-effective solution lets you take full advantage of the improved processes and increased efficiencies that collaboration brings-without having to learn and maintain a separate EDI system.

The Commerce Gateway solution makes it easy to both implement new partners and to meet the changing needs of existing partners-regardless of their choice of application, platform, or transport. New trading documents are easily added using templates in Commerce Gateway or schemas downloaded from the Internet. Existing documents can be modified effortlessly using the intuitive graphical user interface so that you don't have to become an expert on the segments, data elements and codes that comprise a standard EDI message.

Business security and data integrity are of critical importance, especially when dealing with electronic transactions. Commerce Gateway handles all aspects of communication between e-business partners securely and reliably using content-based routing and digital certificates.

Internet protocols protect the security and integrity of your business information. You and your trading partners can be confident that all of your transactions are secure.
