Key Benefits
EC Lightning BasicThis is the core program of the EC Lightning (ECL) line of solutions. This is the data center. All of your company information resides here as well as that of your factor and retailers. EC Lightning supports multiple dba's each with multiple retailers. All of your retailers' store address databases are stored here. EC Lightning stores and processes your incoming transactions into outgoing transactions. All the data that comes in on your orders is stored here, compared with your existing data and made available for other applications to use, such as your accounting and manufacturing programs. This data is also used for creating shipping labels and EDI ship notices and invoices. EC Lightning is run using ECL Processes. These are the customized processes that make EC Lightning your application. There is a process for each transaction required by each retailer. There are communications processes that retrieve your data and send it automatically to and from multiple mailboxes using multiple communications protocols. There are processes that integrate with your EDI translator(s). There are processes for each transaction you will be using for each retailer. There are custom processes for any reports or other data integrations you require. Processes come with their own unique forms and are customized for you based on your individual needs.
