Highlights
Fully Automated Procurement Cycle
From price list import to ordering to invoicing — everything runs automatically:
- Prices & stock are imported via CSV from Azure Blob Storage
- Orders are created via REST API directly from BC purchase orders
- Shipments are synchronized automatically incl. tracking URL
- Invoices are imported, serial numbers assigned, receipts optionally auto-posted
Price Validation Before Ordering
Before every order, the connector checks the current Jarltech price via API. If there's a deviation from the BC purchase price, the user is informed — no unexpected costs.
Drop Shipment Support
Direct delivery to end customers with selectable packing slip layout: Customer, Jarltech, Neutral, or Gulf layout. Ideal for e-commerce merchants without their own warehouse.
Serial Number Automation
Jarltech delivers serial numbers in invoice lines. The connector automatically assigns them to BC reservation entries — for both purchase and sales lines in drop shipment scenarios.
