Your software speaks only to SmartFACT Data
No SmartFACT product calls your ERP, MRP or factory software, and your software calls no SmartFACT product. Everything between them goes through SmartFACT Data: Data takes the records in from your system, and each product asks Data for what it needs or is sent it by Data. So there is one connection to agree, secure and look after, whichever products you use.
There is nothing for your developer to build that a SmartFACT product calls, and no product API for your software to call. Each product still reviews what it is given before using it.
What Data supplies to each product
Each product takes from SmartFACT Data what its own job needs, and keeps its own records and approvals:
- ParcelOffice asks Data for the despatch a work order scan names: the recipient, the packages and the facts your parcel rules read. Its booking and tracking updates go back to Data, which passes them on to your system where the integration includes it.
- OrderRun takes orders from your system through Data, as part of a paid integration. A person still reviews and accepts each order, so an order never releases work by arriving.
- StoresFlow takes stock requests from shop orders through Data. Its purchase requests and receipts go through SmartFACT Purchasing.
- LabelRules takes reviewed reference tables, and KitProof reviewed job files.
Free, with nothing to build
Two ways in need no integration:
- Each product’s own file import, such as a CSV in the layout that product sets. Where a product has one, it is always available, whatever your plan.
- Uploaded sheets, in the expected or a mappable layout, and SmartFACT Data’s Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop connectors, which are free while SmartFACT Data is in early access.
Paid: connecting your own system
Connecting SAP, another ERP or MRP system, your own factory software, EDI or a bespoke API to SmartFACT Data is paid integration work. We scope it with you, price it before work starts and build it through data.smartfact.ai. How Data reaches your system, through a live API, middleware or scheduled files, is agreed with your IT team in that scope.
By default data comes in and nothing goes back. Where you want a result returned to your system, such as ParcelOffice’s tracking reference or a goods receipt, that is part of the scope too, and it is reviewed before it goes live.
How to start
Tell us about the system at https://data.smartfact.ai/integration-enquiry: what it holds, which SmartFACT products it should supply and how your IT allows a connection. We reply with questions, or with a scope and a price, before any work starts.
Common questions
Can our ERP or factory software connect to a SmartFACT product directly?
No. It connects to SmartFACT Data, and Data supplies the products. That keeps one connection for every product you use.
Is there a SmartFACT API for our software to call?
Not a public one. Outside data reaches the products through SmartFACT Data, as an integration we scope with you, or through a product’s own file import.
What can we connect without paying for an integration?
Each product’s own file import, in the format that product sets, is always available. Uploaded sheets and the Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop connectors are free while SmartFACT Data is in early access. Anything else is a paid integration, priced before work starts.
Can results go back to our system?
Only where the integration we build includes it, such as ParcelOffice’s booking and tracking reference. By default data comes in and nothing goes back.
