Question on: Clear Spider
Can Clear Spider integrate with other systems?Integration
Show More
Show Less
Clear Spider can easily integrate with other systems. We have made integration very simple to understand, build and keep current. Clear Spider integrates with various Accounting Softwares, ERP Systems, Wireless Systems and CRM Systems. You can either choose manual integration, Clear Spider’s integration agent, or a combination of the two.
For manual integration, we provide a web-based interface to enter and maintain data. Similar to an Excel spreadsheet, the web front-end allows password protected users to keep company data current. A simple set of guided process steps walks users through the data loading process. Manual integration is a very good option for companies with less than a total of 100 data points (items + locations + orders) to maintain. Leveraging data formats such as XML, tab-delimited, etc., files can be automatically passed between Clear Spider and other applications using the Clear Spider Integration Agent (IIA). The IIA securely moves these files in real-time (or in scheduled batches) between applications using a messaging framework.
In addition, the IIA tracks errors and issues and notifies the system administrator either through a web front-end, emails or pager notification. This automated attendant is easily configured to ensure that integrations can be quickly built and managed with limited effort. For those companies with an existing integration infrastructure such as an EAI tool, the IIA can simply act as a receptor/agent, ensuring that there is no overlap with the existing infrastructure.
