Automated Integration

PumperNickel is an extension engine to Prophet. It enables Prophet to connect to other companies and software via the internet or local networks. PumperNickel is organised in a modular fashion, grouping to together like functions. With this connectivity, it can send and receive invoices and other business documents & forms. It can also exchange other information, such as customer, supplier and product details. It does this with a set of rules and triggers, thereby automating routine process. An extensive list of functions is shown here.

• XML (a standard mechanism for encoding data)
• email (for sending and receiving data)
• Web (for command and control, and data transfer)
• XSL (a mechanisim for presenting and transforming XML)
• PDF Portable Document Format
• Scheduling
• Database access - Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, DBISAM, Foxpro, CSV files
• Java for transformation, and access to many advanced features

PumperNickel can take proactive action, based on business rules, and does not totally rely on operators initiating every action. This enables it to monitor and process routine tasks.

PumperNickel has comprehensive control over Prophet, with import, export, actions and high speed native data access. It uses the OLE DB and COM, which provide far superior access to Prophet than older methods such as ODBC & DOS file transfer with ghost scripts.

PumperNickel is a new class of application, widely referred to as "Web Services".
