Weighbridge system ERP Integration

Purpose

Almost all vehicles weighed have a financial implication associated with them. Whether debiting or crediting a customer for a load dispatched or returned, or recording the value of goods received from a supplier, the information recorded by the weighbridge system needs to be transferred into a ERP\accounting system. In the case where there is no system integration, users have to manually capture the data.

Wayware’s integration into ERP\accounting systems automates this transfer of data both ways. Any weighing done in the weighbridge system then has a direct link to the entities in the ERP\accounting system.

In the case where the download interface is not working due to network failure or other reasons, the weighbridge system can not function properly because it does not have up to date information from the ERP\accounting system. Wayware’s offline mode will allow operators to capture the missing information directly into the weighbridge system so that operations can continue. When the interface is restored, Wayware’s matching transfer functionality then ensures the data is then matched back into the ERP\accounting system.
