Hundreds of companies, from single to multi-site operations, already rely on MomentumPro™ enterprise systems. This technology has provided them with the ability to streamline their business processes and consolidate information, through one-touch enterprise resource planning (ERP) functionality.
The MomentumPro™ range addresses the full scope of requirements for businesses within the mid-market wholesale distribution category.

E-Gateway
MomentumPro™ E-Gateway is an intelligent, user-friendly e-commerce module providing the ability to interface external web sites, portable devices, EDI software and other external sales data sources directly into MomentumPro™.
Through easy-to-use interfaces, your business can monitor incoming and outgoing transactions electronically, eliminating 'double-keying' and excess paperwork. This allows you to take greater control of business transactions, leading to increased efficiency and more informed decision-making.
Incoming transactions are analysed and processed intelligently then actioned according to customisable system settings. The end result is an efficient and automated back end process that can communicate to external parties via email or fax without manual intervention.
Combined with the increased data management control provided by MomentumPro™, E-Gateway provides a cost effective and flexible solution to your e-commerce needs, opening up global opportunities through the power of the World Wide Web.
WebOnline
Benefit from the addition of an integrated and secure web environment that provides customers with 24x7 access to purchase, view and track current and historical orders online. Providing your customers with this customised portal not only extends your market reach, but also opens up a new and lucrative business channel that increases revenue, drives operational efficiency and improves the customer experience.
