3M Announces Improved Connection to ComCept.NET
3M has announced the successful implementation of an easier purchase order upload system for users of ComCept Solutions automotive paint, body and equipment (PBE) software. The new capabilities of ComCept.NET software enable it to successfully create uploadable order data that is properly formatted to work with 3M’s Order Center eCommerce system for automotive aftermarket distributors. 3M says the process will help reduce order cycle time and minimize processing errors.According to a company press release, the improved system meets the ongoing need for increased automation and precision and eliminates the need for phone and fax orders and time-consuming re-keying of order information.
Peter Davis, eBusiness Manager for 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division, said, “This improvement in ComCept’s functionality will help our distributors by making their ordering processes simpler. This, and the capabilities provided through our 3M Order Center web interface, can provide a purchasing department with an efficient ordering tool, as well as the essential information they need when placing orders. This includes product availability, order status and the ability to track orders directly back to the carriers.”
“Today’s business environment requires the increased use of electronic systems,” concluded Davis. “We need to be able to work across all types of systems. Advances such as this help ease the process for our distributors and assures accuracy and quality order fulfillment.”
