Microsoft Dynamics AX also offers a solution with the flexibility to integrate with other vendor 3rd party and legacy applications.

Payment Processing
JunctionRES supports cash, check, open account, credit card and gift certificate payment options. Our credit card processing functionality allows for orders to be held until authorization on the card can be confirmed. Authorization can be done via online or batch options through various payment processors. JunctionRES keeps your customers’ personal data secure by encrypting all credit card data, deleting security codes (CID, CVV2, CVC2) once the order is fulfilled, and only showing last 4-digits of credit card data on-file to end users. Strict complicate with PCI requirements will leverage a dual-key approach and 128-bit encryption technology.

Order Management
The order management screen provides users with the ability to quickly key customer orders. Users are able to tie multiple shipping addresses to ordered items for quick gift entry, as well as the flexibility to tie gift messages to one or more recipients. Our integrated spell checking feature ensures that your customer’s gift messages are exactly as they should be. During order entry, users have access to real time inventory and robust item details to ensure they can answer even the most difficult customer questions.

Customer Service
The Customer Service feature provides a single view across all sales channels, empowering Order Entry Representatives to provide personal service for customers requesting information about accounts, orders and payments. Features include: email documents, catalog request processing, back order and purchase order information, order event logs to track modifications, as well as the ability to drill down into any shipped order to review each box, tracking information, and its contents. In addition, all communications can be recorded at the customer, sales order and invoice level.

Promotion and Pricing Management
JunctionRES provides users with the ability to define the promotional offer and the customer segment receiving the offer. Special item pricing and discounts can be defined at the offer level, such as buy 1 get 1 promotions, multi-quantity discounts, and total order value discounts. Each offer can also be tied to a postage and handling schedule so that postage is automatically calculated during order entry.

Warehouse Management
JunctionRES’s Warehouse Management features are fully integrated with the Microsoft Dynamics AX Warehouse Management (WMS) modules to better manage inventory and fulfill customer orders. Warehouse Management helps optimize inventory transfers by using specialized warehouse areas and zones for directed put-away. Microsoft Dynamics AX manages bulk storage and forward picking areas and creates automated bin transfers.

The CRM feature is fully integrated with all JunctionRES modules and is an integral part of the supply chain. With CRM, communications can be managed across all sales channels using calendars, correspondence and campaigns while seamlessly integrating to all Microsoft Office applications.
