Overview

Connecting QAD Enterprise Applications with your trading partners

QAD Enterprise Applications, now part of QAD Adaptive ERP, is widely used by automotive, industrial, life sciences and consumer products manufacturers. Automotive suppliers on QAD typically exchange planning and shipping schedules, ship notices and invoices with vehicle manufacturers and tier-one customers.

QAD includes EDI eCommerce functionality for processing EDI documents within the ERP, and QXtend for XML and web service integration. ECOM integrates QAD with trading partners through PRISM, either feeding QAD's EDI eCommerce or integrating through QXtend and APIs, and provides QAD implementation services, so schedules, shippers and invoices are designed to work with your customers from the start.
