Eliminate data disconnects, duplication and manual data entry.

Information can be exchanged automatically with customers, suppliers, financial systems, data warehouse/reporting systems, 3rd party software applications, and more. Because data is exchanged automatically in the background, the need to manually collect information recorded in one system and manually enter it into another is eliminated.
