How a CRM integration solution can empower your sales team...
Thursday, August 17, 2017Lauren Macdonald
Often when we talk about CRM integration with back-office accounting/ERP systems, we think of it in terms of the value it creates for our accountants and bookkeepers. When we look at CRM integration as a time-saver for these people, we often think about benefits such as invoices populating directly in the CRM system, customer data always being accurate and updated immediately, billing addresses being shared across business systems, etc.
While these are all great things and will certainly save our accounting/bookkeeping teams a lot of headaches, there’s other important people that will benefit from CRM integration as well… our Sales team!

The Truth About EDI
Wednesday, August 2, 2017Lindsay Hampson
Guest post by Marc Darmon
By now you likely already know what EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is. Essentially, EDI is an electronic exchange of standard business documents between two companies. Which means if you want to stock the shelves of Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, etc. you need to meet their strict EDI requirements for doing so.
The trouble is… EDI sucks. No one in their right mind wants to do it, but unfortunately, it’s a necessary evil in doing business with the “Big Box” stores. Even more frustrating is that every store seems to have their own unique requirements for compliance.

Amazon and NetSuite ERP Integration Solution
Wednesday, July 5, 2017Lauren Macdonald
Every Amazon seller, regardless of whether they choose an
Individual or Professional Selling Plan, knows that there’s a list of
Amazon seller criteria they must oblige by in order to sell their products on Amazon.
Failure to meet the criteria could result in penalties for things like:
- Running out of inventory
- Processing orders too slowly
- Not meeting shipping deadline expectations
- Receiving negative feedback from customers
NOTE: Too much of any of these things could even result in your Amazon seller account being revoked. Yikes!

Happy 150 Canada
Friday, June 30, 2017Lindsay Hampson
eBridge Connections’ headquarters is based in Canada. If you open a Google search for the word Canada, you will find pictures of snow and low-to-medium-grade groomed men wearing red uniforms, and big hats. Google images will call the white stuff snow, and it will call those guys Mounties. We call it precipitation, and we call them Greg and Andy.
This scene plays out frequently in cities and towns across our lovely country. But, Canada is about far more than that. Visit us and you’ll see.

How to choose a Sage-Magento integration solution
Wednesday, June 28, 2017Lindsay Hampson
The job of working out how best to link hybrid systems together is a common, but complicated, one. Often Operations Leaders, or IT Managers preparing or upgrading their Sage ERP are given the goal of Magento integration, with little timeframe, little guidance, and a lot of pressure from upper management. The reason behind the task is a good one – disparate systems must be connected in order to provide one version of the truth, and easy access to data – but it is a logistical nightmare.
So what are helpful hints when outlining a Sage-Magento integration project?

Could Amazon Prime Day 2017 actually be Amazon Prime Week 2017?
Monday, June 26, 2017Lauren Macdonald
Amazon Prime Day is an annual sales event by
Amazon.com that some say offers big enough deals to rival Black Friday.
The event first started in 2015, when the online retail giant marked two decades since the day it first opened, and the sale was so successful that Amazon decided to make it an annual affair.
The exact date for this year’s Prime Day hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s predicted that it will be sometime between July 10
th and July 16
th, with much speculation that it will fall on
Tuesday July 11th, 2017.
Unlike past years when it was a 24-hour event, this year Prime Day will run for 30 hours (from 6:00 PM to midnight PDT on the day before Prime Day, plus the 24 hours of Prime Day itself). Essentially, we’re talking about a day and a half of deals and discounts for Amazon Prime members.
Even more exciting, Amazon has also alluded to the possibility of a
“Prime Day Week” this year, which might mean they have plans to promote more than just a single day of deals.

How to win the 'Buy Box' on Amazon: Tips and Tricks
Thursday, June 8, 2017Lauren Macdonald
If you’re an Amazon seller with a Professional selling plan, you may have heard of a little thing called the ‘Buy Box’. For those of you that don’t already know, the Buy Box is the box on a product detail page where customers can begin the purchasing process by adding items to their shopping carts.
A key feature of Amazon is that multiple sellers can offer the same product. If more than one eligible seller offers a product, they may compete for the Buy Box for that product. Beneath the Buy Box are Additional Seller Listings of merchants that offer the same product but did not ‘win’ the Buy Box.
