B2BGateway Extends the Reach of Netsuite

“B2BGateway has had a very long and successful relationship with NetSuite around the world. We are committed to developing new and innovative ways to make the EDI process easier and more practical for the end user.”

 January 21, 2008 | BOSTON, MA and SAN MATEO, CA – B2BGateway (a product of Shannon Systems LLC), and an integrated solution partner of NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N) since 2001, today announced the release of the B2BGateway client portal. NetSuite users are now able to utilize the client portal to initiate new trading partner relationships, review data transmitted, schedule transaction imports/exports and to cross reference data.
B2BGateway has provided NetSuite users with EDI connectivity in North America to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, General Motors and over 700 other organizations. In the European Union, NetSuite users use B2BGateway to connect to ASDA, Argos, Tesco, Carrefour, and many others. Any NetSuite user who intends to sell products to these large organizations is required to use EDI.

Utilizing the WebServices functionality that is provided with NetSuite, the newly released client portal takes a fully automated process and gives the end user much more control over the process. NetSuite users now have flexibility with the data that is input or extracted from their system. In the past, input and output data was pre-configured and fixed. The client portal now allows end users the capability to modify data prior to import, to review statistical EDI processing data and to review their transactions.

“The client portal truly empowers the NetSuite user”, states Steven Kohler, Director of Infrastructure Development at B2BGateway. “This tool, uses a combination of NetSuite Web Services and B2BGateway connectivity to control the EDI process. We have also added a Request Support feature and an Alerts Feature, to keep the end user better connected.” End User reviews have stated that the client portal helps to keep the user better connected and offers them more control.

Before B2BGateway started providing fully managed EDI solutions in 1999, the process of receiving electronic Purchase Orders and sending electronic Invoices was difficult, costly and prone to errors. B2BGateway simplified the entire EDI process by connecting to Trading Partners through a central hub. The B2BGateway hub connects to all of the trading partners and connects to the end user. So all of the data translation required in EDI takes place in a central location.

“B2BGateway has had a very long and successful relationship with NetSuite around the world. We are committed to developing new and innovative ways to make the EDI process easier and more practical for the end user.” said Kevin Hoyle, CEO of Shannon Systems/B2BGateway.
