Since we are using standard Web Services for data feeds, it does not matter what software packages StreamCollab interfaces with. Individual modules can be configured to work with other 3rd party systems. An example would be the Item Introduction module that can optionally be configured to work with GS1 for utilizing standardized product UPCs.
We do not attempt to replace an ERP system. Instead, we work together with whatever your ERP / MDM system is. The advantage of StreamCollab Is that we can scale to your system. This is quite useful for small to mid-size corporations with a smaller-scaled system but wants to immediately take advantage of secured vendor communication and data feeds that smaller-scaled systems cannot provide for you.
