The Assignment

BevChain requires its customers to transfer data and receive data using specific logistics and defined formats such as xml.

Brown Brothers uses the JD Edwards ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system to process orders.  They needed a way to extract, transform and send data from their current system to BevChain. Brown Brothers also wanted to apply data received from BevChain to their own system. This would avoid any need for manual data entry and ensure quick processing.

 


 

The LogicalTech Approach

The LogicalTech SysTalk integration experts delivered the solution. Brown Brothers were already using BizTalk in a limited capacity for internal data transfer. The SysTalk architects built on this by designing a new BizTalk application that was stable enough to meet the new technical requirements. This enabled a worry-free exchange of data between Brown Brothers and BevChain.

The task included finding ways to transfer Inventory and Procurement data at different stages. To do this, LogicalTech SysTalk developed new versions at required intervals. To avoid system down time, we used the flexible Business Rule engine to change configuration. The BizTalk workflow engine handled exceptions in consistent and visible way.

As part of Brown Brother’s first business critical BizTalk implementation, SysTalk provided both the fundamental building blocks and best practices for a world-class BizTalk application.  Brown Brothers are looking forward to expanding and streamlining their business with their new BizTalk application.


 

The Value of the Solution

    • A solid, standards-based means of transferring necessary data to/from BevChain to utilize their specialist services.
    • A fully automated system that avoids any need for duplicate data entry beyond the initial order.
    • A consistent, visible means of error handling that allows system maintenance by non-BizTalk specialists.
    • A scalable, robust, high-performance platform that can be built upon for further business process automation.
