BXPlatform Features

 

BXPortalConnect

The relationship between operators and their various suppliers is continually evolving. As operators adopt new technologies and streamline the cash flow process, they are increasingly mandating that suppliers be able to conform to standards passed down from internal standards committees, third-party e-commerce portals or organizations like PIDX international. Invoices, Purchase Orders, Field Tickets and many other documents must arrive in a format that each back office can easily process so as to not disrupt cash flow.

 

For Portals, the challenge becomes onboarding new customers and suppliers with limited domain expertise for every back-office process and system that can exist in a vertical with fragmented technology. Portals that fail to meet the onboarding expectations of their clients face losing them and the ongoing revenue stream associated with transaction fees.

 

 

Pervasive BXPortalConnect is a managed Web-based data exchange service that enables third party portals to send and receive their clients' business information electronically in a seamless, timely and secure manner regardless of their enterprise system. BXPortalConnect is a cloud-based solution that also brings the added benefit of Pervasive Software's 25 year legacy of integration technology and one of the most comprehensive lists of application and file adapters.

 

BXPortalConnect utilizes Pervasive BXOnboarding to significantly reduce customer on-boarding times. BXOnboarding is a combination of technology, process, and people with over a decade of experience specific to the Oil and Gas industry.

 

The benefits of Pervasive BXPortalConnect can include:

  • Reduction of supplier on-boarding and time to revenue by up to 80%
  • Connection to medium and small businesses with a large list of connectivity options
  • Potential to free up implementation teams to focus on business processes versus integration
  • Increased customer satisfaction with reduced on-boarding times
    
    

We are seeing significant productivity gains now that we can automatically generate EDI-compliant invoices from QuickBooks invoices for our large oil and gas trading partners. The QuickBooks connectivity is a great enhancement to Pervasive WebDI that will save my staff time, money, and manual data entry – and that's important to a lean, competitive business like ours."
