VG7 CONNECT MODULE
Connect, integrate and
let your tools speak.
VG7 Connect is the ad hoc integration of our platform with external software, to facilitate the workflow of your company.
Thanks to different types of interconnection and data exchange, it is possible to integrate VG7 with printers, preflight systems, accounting management systems and couriers. Also, you will be able to monitor data from analysis and marketing software and integrate newsletter, feedback, reviews and customer care management systems with the platform.
MAIN FEATURES
Integration with preflight software
Verifies that the PDF files uploaded by users are suitable for printing. The system generates a preview and specific alerts (blocking errors, non-binding warnings or suggestions). For example, you can configure minimum and maximum values for the font or specify that only four-color images are accepted.
4.0 Integration with printers
This service enables the automatic interfacing of pre-set printing machines. The machine/software data exchange takes place in an 'Industry 4.0' perspective and is therefore compatible with the relevant tax benefits.
Interfacing takes place via the FTP system provided by VG7, where the customer company will have to take care of synchronizing the reports generated by the machines (CSV, XML, TXT or other directly importable formats). The VG7 system will then take care of the import of data with defined scheduling, and the creation of reports per job with the data provided by the machines.
Typically, processing and start-up times, number of copies produced, waste, inks and any additional information provided by the machines are imported.
This module includes a preliminary analysis of the technical characteristics of the printing machines, any variations will be agreed upon.
Elements required for interconnection
- Static IP in the company (for access from outside)
- FTP area configuration for file exchange (possibly provided by VG7)
- Synchronization of reports generated by the machines with FTP area.
- Insertion of order numbers in files sent to machines (also automatically using FTP integration of VG7 Upload system)
- Configuration of the company's internal network so that FTP can be accessed remotely by VG7.
The module includes 40 hours of study, programming and testing, any additional hours will be budgeted at a cost of € 65/hour.
Integration with external suppliers
Allows to import products from external suppliers into the catalog of the platform. The import can be done through XML, CSV or web service. Particularly useful when it is necessary to import thousands of products from one or more suppliers and constantly update price lists and stocks.
Integration with payment systems
Allows to connect the platform to online payment systems such as MultiSafePay (payment service provider that uses 3-D Secure encryption to protect user data) or PayPal (to make transactions without sharing sensitive customer credit card data with the beneficiary).
Integration with accounting management systems
Thanks to VG7 Connect you can integrate your platform with an external accounting management software, according to predefined standards. The export, which takes place at order confirmation and stores data in a folder accessible via FTP, generates files in XML or CSV format, based on the integrated management system.
Integration with newsletter management systems
Allows to integrate a newsletter subscription form directly into the website connected to the VG7 management system. Integration can take place with external services such as Mailchimp, Mailup or InvioNews.
Integration with customer care systems
Allows to integrate the platform with different systems for customer care management. For example, help desk systems (ticket assistance), CRM (customer relationship management) and chat systems integrated with the e-commerce site such as Zopim/Zendesk (to stay in touch with end users).
Integration with analysis and marketing tools
Integrates the platform with tools for traffic analysis (such as Google Analytics) and digital marketing. In addition to SEO fields, you can manage tags to monitor access to the site and advertising campaigns, measure Facebook Ads conversions and connect the site to search engines with Google Shopping and Trovaprezzi.
Integration with feedback and reviews management systems
With VG7 Connect you can show reviews made by customers after the purchase of one or more products on the website connected to the management system. Generic reviews can be displayed within each page of the site and specific reviews of an item within the product sheet.
Integration with external supplier catalog in the printing sector (Flyeralarm, etc.)
This module allows you to import products from the Flyeralarm catalog via API and send the order to Flyeralarm automatically.
It will then be possible to
- import products from Flyeralarm into the VG7 ERP
- publish products in Storefront
- send the order directly to the supplier with the customer's graphic file
THE ADVANTAGES OF VG7 CONNECT
Monitor and automate
VG7 Connect allows you to monitor the progress of the processes and automate production, thanks to our integration in an "Industry 4.0" perspective with the printing machines. The platform sends the necessary details to the integrated device and receives feedback after completing the process.
Work in perfect synergy with external suppliers
VG7 Connect allows you to manage a single catalog, easily importing the products of one or more external suppliers through integration via web service, XML or CSV file.
It automatically updates stocks and price lists as well as allowing the management of customizations and the different combinations of quantities, sizes and colors of the product.
Carefree accounting
VG7 Connect integrates perfectly with external accounting management systems through predefined standards and following the dynamics already in place or envisaged for your management system. This allows, both at a technical level and as regards the operation on the external management system, not to modify the software already used in your company for accounting.
