This article applies to both FULL CIRCLE and FULL CIRCLE LITE.
Full Circle will be connected to NuORDER through a flat file integration, meaning the two systems will be generating TXT files of your data and transferring them back and forth through an FTP. Please note that you will need to contact your Full Circle Account Manager to let them know that you would like to integrate with NuORDER.
The flow of data includes:
- Products - from Full Circle to NuORDER
- Customers - from Full Circle to NuORDER
- Inventory - from Full Circle to NuORDER
- Orders - from NuORDER to Full Circle
- Order Edits - From Full Circle to NuORDER
- Orders - from Full Circle to NuORDER
- Order Shipments - from Full Circle to NuORDER
Turnaround Time
The average Full Circle integration will take approximately 8-10 weeks from the project kickoff to completion. This does not mean we'll be spending 8-10 weeks writing code, but rather this is the complete time to get through all stages of the rollout. The part of the process that takes the most time is prepping your Full Circle data for the integration. Once this is complete, testing and final review should only take a couple weeks.
- Planning and discovery sessions
- Any preparation on your side to get your Full Circle data cleaned up and ready for integration
- Testing and review in the NuORDER sandbox
- Adjustments
- Final review and sign-off
- Transfer from sandbox to production
- Post-launch troubleshooting
