How does it work?

Are you a distributor or manufacturer that receives faxed or emailed purchase orders that are manually keyed as sales orders? Would you rather have your sales people or customer service team members selling and serving your customers instead of doing data entry?

Conexiom converts faxed and emailed purchase orders into automated sales orders. When customer purchase orders are printed or arrive by email, you simply re-direct them to Conexiom and all order detail in the PO is extracted and transformed automatically into a sales order in your ERP system with 100% accuracy. It eliminates the challenge of dual entry for your customers as you no longer need to request they re-key their purchase orders into your web order system once they have created the PO in their own system. It integrates with existing ERP or inventory management systems and doesn’t require hardware, software licenses or extra fees for setup or support.

FAQs

How does Conexiom work?

Conexiom uses patent-pending intellectual property to ensure that data is captured and transformed accurately. Conexiom does not use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to estimate data on a purchase order due to reliability issues. Our technology is based on mapping what is on each customer's PO format along with automating business rules regarding how that data should be mapped into the Seller’s sales order system. Since we work in conjunction with customer service during the initial setup and configuration, detailed business rules can be defined, captured, and incorporated into the mapping.

For example, it may be customary for any PO that has "air" as a shipment method to always require a review by the customer service team before releasing the order for shipment. Or, customer service may define a rule to part numbers on the buyer's PO and ignore certain characters because the part number in their sales order system doesn't have those characters.

Conexiom data capture accuracy combined with encapsulation of business rules clearly differentiates Conexiom in the markets we serve.

Does Conexiom support multiple languages?

Although the Conexiom web-based interface for users is in English, this does not impact Conexiom’s ability to recognize and transform POs into sales orders in other languages. Conexiom is in use in dozens of countries as it supports double-byte character sets such as those found in Asian & Arabic languages.

Does Conexiom follow the EDI 855 PO acknowledgement specification?

Conexiom users can request a copy of the Conexiom EDI 855 specification to determine its suitability for their needs.

How are order exceptions handled and resolved?

The responsible party is notified of exceptions via email. Typically, Conexiom notifications can be handled by Conexiom users without assistance. For example, managing a new address that appears on a PO may require a user to provide Conexiom with an update to the list of customer address account numbers. Once updated, Conexiom will remember the new information to allow orders to process without an exception. If an exception requires re-mapping because the PO format has changed significantly, we would work together with the Conexiom user to make such changes.

How are pricing issues managed?

Conexiom allows users to manage pricing according to their own business practices. For example, some companies may ignore any pricing that is on the PO and use the pricing from within their own system. Other companies may review pricing from the buyer before releasing the order for shipment. This is decided during the initial mapping setup and configuration and the Conexiom user can determine the rules on a customer by customer basis.

Is there a way to provide customers with information regarding pricing or availability updates as it relates to their order?

Yes, if the order entry system can provide an acknowledgement with pricing and availability, Conexiom can prepare and deliver an easy to read view of this information to the buyer showing any changes to what was on their PO.

Can Conexiom automatically provide order confirmations to the customer?

Yes.

Can Conexiom auto-email the buyers to let them know when orders have been received and released for shipment?

Conexiom can provide both the buyer and seller with automated confirmation that orders have been received and successfully delivered.

Can implementing sales order automation reduce the time it takes to resolve customer order issues?

Yes it can as you get a full audit trail of the order process so it's much easier to track down issues and resolve them.

Does Conexiom improve the order to cash cycle time?

Yes it can because Conexiom automatically processes orders quickly, reducing order cycle time which will have a positive impact on order to cash.

Can order confirmations be routed to an appropriate customer service rep?

Yes, this is part of the configuration and setup process.

Are purchase orders stored electronically anywhere for Conexiom user to access?

Standard configuration of Conexiom includes a copy of the purchase order being attached to all confirmations when processed so there is both an electronic notification and an audit trail. Conexiom users can choose how to store and archive these emails.

How is Conexiom typically deployed?

Our service is designed to transform each unique purchase order format into a single structured sales order format (EDI, XML, CSV, etc.) for your company to easily consume. Most customers start with rolling the Conexiom service out to five or ten customers before accelerating their deployment to other customers.

Can we use an internal order form that our field sales reps could use to send in orders on behalf of their customers?

Yes you can use an internal order form subject to review by your Conexiom implementation consultant.

Can Conexiom help with phone orders?

Yes. Many of your customers will create an order in their own system and then call the order in because they think it is faster than sending it by email. With Conexiom, orders sent via email will be in your system within minutes with 100% data accuracy.
