Would you also like to exchange data efficiently and securely with Exact Software? You can do so with our Alistar products built on top of Exact. Consider the Alistar Service Bus or a custom client portal based on our low-code platform\u2014both are powerful solutions. Easily develop applications without extensive programming knowledge and enable seamless data exchange between different systems. Whether you choose off-the-shelf solutions or custom development, the goal is to help optimize your processes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Service Bus acts as a \u2018post office\u2019 for the various digital systems within your company. With our products\u2014which we develop on our low-code platform, Portal Builder\u2014both internal and external individuals or organizations can be part of business processes without having direct access to Exact Software or other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although they do not have direct access to the Exact environment, the information is shared in real time from Exact. \u201cTo streamline your processes, you often use multiple software programs, such as a WMS, PIM, e-commerce platform, and transportation management tools,\u201d says Anthony Dorlandt, senior software developer at Alistar. \u201cAll these systems need to be able to communicate with each other and exchange information. Unfortunately, they almost never speak the same \u2018language\u2019 or operate at the same time. With the Service Bus, we solve that problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major advantage of the Service Bus is that you can update multiple systems at once with a single message. \u201cWhen you update product data in your PIM system, the information in Exact, your WMS system, and the online store platform is updated immediately,\u201d Anthony explains. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter which system sends or receives the information; the Service Bus ensures that the data arrives securely, quickly, and at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n All information is encrypted end-to-end. The Service Bus can buffer messages and deliver them in the correct order, allowing backend systems to process the data at their own pace without any data loss. This provides a scalable solution that can flexibly adapt to changing workloads or peak loads in data processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dUsing the Portal Builder low-code platform, we develop certified Exact add-ons that securely exchange information with CMS and ERP systems. These modules allow you to exchange information in real time via the web using a mobile device, tablet, or desktop,\u201c explains Arie van Leeuwe, Senior Account Manager at Alistar. \u201dThis makes it possible for people\u2014both internal and external\u2014to manage their own affairs within Exact and\/or other systems. This can be done in real time without direct access to that software.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cConsider, for example, a web form for job applicants where they can enter their name, address, and contact information and upload their resume. This information is then imported directly into Exact Synergy. You could use a similar form to register a return shipment, which is entered and marked as a return in Exact in real time, without any employee intervention, or a customer portal where people can view their orders, order history, and invoices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nService Bus and Alistar Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
