Products
EC Outlook's core product is the Integration Hub, built around our
comprehensive B2B integration platform called Collaboration Center©.
We have also developed a set of collaborative value chain products
that automate specific business processes and needs. These
process-specific products, grouped together in our Commerce Center©
suite, also take advantage of the same underlying integration
platform. All of our products are delivered as a managed
service, which means there is no software to buy, install, or
maintain.

Order Management

throughout every document's life cycle. Security

The Order Management product automates the Purchase-to-Pay cycle

VMI
|
|
This product is used by both gas marketers and pipelines to manage
the delivery of natural gas. For marketers, it enables the
exchange of documents required to secure transportation and delivery
of gas purchases between Utilities and Producers. For
pipelines, it enables the exchange of documents required to perform
efficient transportation of gas, manage the allocation of pipeline
bandwidth and the sale of excess capacity. Supports NAESB 1.4,
1.5, 1.6, and emerging standards. |
With more and more vendor-customer relationships moving to a vendor
managed inventory (VMI) model, a premium is placed on inventory and
production planning visibility throughout the supply chain. EC
Outlook's VMI product provides this visibility for all
organizations, regardless of the backend systems or document types
they use. Vendor organizations are able to view consolidated
reports that let them know when and how much product a customer will
need, reducing or eliminating costly stock outs or expedited
shipments. |
Financials
|
Track & Trace
|
|
The Financials product is used by companies to manage large monetary
transactions, such as wires, advanced clearing house (ACH),
acknowledgements, voids/issuances, and match pay/reconciliations.
The product may be used as a stand-alone solution, or integrated
with the Order Management application to provide Payments
functionality. |
EC Outlook's Track & Trace product provides shipment status tracking
information on inbound or outbound shipments. Information from
the product shipper is used to electronically retrieve shipment
status information from the shipper. This status information
may be provided on an as-needed basis via queries, or automatically
via reports or email alerts. The product may be used as a
stand-alone application, or in concert with the Order Management
product to add additional value to users. |
