One of the most significant challenges QAD user companies face is integrating their QAD ERP system with other third-party cloud or on-premise software applications. Integrating QAD with third-party applications—such as warehouse management, logistics, and e-commerce systems—presents a range of technical and operational hurdles.
The integration needs to be real-time, affordable, easily implemented, and reliable in operation. Integration cannot be solved using an out-of-the-box solution, as each integration needs detailed planning and implementation.
Many QAD integration solutions available are based on multiple technologies, resulting in complexity that requires the QAD user company to learn new technologies or hire consultants to implement and troubleshoot issues. This can be very expensive, with no guarantee of flawless execution.
32 Soft’s QAD Integration Service is explicitly designed to address these challenges. We’ve helped QAD user companies since 2001, and we’ve learned what manufacturers value and appreciate most: a combination of reliability, reasonable cost (or quick ROI), ease of use, and exceptional support.
Our long-standing focus on creating seamless QAD solutions means users benefit from experienced support and a proven track record of reliability and security. This robust integration solution enables you to easily integrate almost any third-party application with QAD in a reasonable implementation timeframe.
- Reduced Risk of Data Format Mismatches. Our QAD Integration Service leverages Progress 4GL, a technology familiar to many QAD users, to ensure consistent data mapping and synchronization between QAD and external systems. This reduces the risk of data format mismatches and minimizes the need for manual intervention.
- Streamlined Approach. Unlike other integration products that require multiple technologies or middleware platforms, our approach is streamlined. It utilizes the same backbone engine as our Data Loaders, which have been used daily by hundreds of clients for over 20 years.
- Brilliantly Simple. Our QAD Integration Service is built on technologies that most QAD users already possess (Progress and Tomcat), thereby reducing complexity and the need for specialized skills or external consultants.
- Reliable Data Validation. Our QAD Integration Service validates data using genuine QAD logic before uploading, highlighting errors instantly and ensuring only accurate, compatible data is processed. This built-in validation upholds data integrity across platforms.
- Seamless Integration without Risky Workarounds. The service is compatible with all QAD versions, including older ones that may lack modern APIs. This allows for seamless integration without the need for risky workarounds, such as direct database access or manual file transfers.
- Support Multiple Communication Schedules. You can set up secure and reliable communication between QAD and other systems, whether on a scheduled or on-demand basis.
- Customized Integration for Your Unique Needs. Each integration is tailored to the client’s specific business process and requirements, rather than relying on rigid, out-of-the-box connectors. This flexibility allows for adaptation to unique workflows and rapid adjustments as business needs evolve.
- Ease of Use. Integration processes can be monitored directly from within QAD or via a dedicated web application. Users can fix issues and reprocess failed transactions without deep technical intervention.
Our QAD Integration Service provides a robust, cost-effective, secure, and user-friendly approach to integrating QAD ERP with third-party systems. By leveraging proven technology, minimizing complexity, and focusing on reliability and support, we provide you with a tool to make integrations that are easier to implement, maintain, and, and scale.
