PartnerLinQ Optimizes EDI and B2B Management

Challenges

North Bay Distribution has been a prominent name in the warehousing, order fulfillment, and shipping industry for more than 40 years. Over this time, North Bay has developed an in-house warehousing system that has been deployed across its warehouses in the US and Canada.

Rapid growth in North Bay’s business, its customers’ businesses, and its number of warehouses had made their existing solution difficult to manage. North Bay required an agile, scalable solution for rapid vendor onboarding, warehousing support, and support for their eCommerce system.

Solution

To address North Bay’s business needs, Visionet deployed PartnerLinQ, its proprietary EDI, B2B, and API management solution for Dynamics 365. The innovative, process-centric solution enabled North Bay to onboard new customers in less than 2 weeks, including testing and certification cycles for B2B and B2C, without additional software or hardware.

PartnerLinQ allows North Bay to process upto 200 transactions per minute across multiple trading partners. The solution supports APIs for Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, Jet, Amazon, DHL, UPS, and others, which helps North Bay reduce B2C order fulfillment time by taking orders directly from their eCommerce systems.

PartnerLinQ seamlessly integrates with North Bay’s warehousing system (Veracore), which allowed North Bay to pick and choose the customers they wanted to move to their new cloud-based warehousing system without extensive testing or per-customer customization.
