Exact Online

Exact Online, without retyping orders.

Sales orders, items and customers come from Exact Online. What was produced, used and shipped goes back, so stock and invoices are right without anyone typing it over.

Exact Online and Frontlink.

Frontlink connects to Exact Online through its REST API. Sales orders, customers, items and bills of materials are read from Exact; produced quantities, consumed lots, stock movements and shipments are booked back. Exact Online stays your financial administration, Frontlink runs production and the warehouse.

The connection is built for manufacturers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany that use Exact Online for finance, sales and purchasing, and today retype orders into planning spreadsheets or book production by hand at the end of the week.

What moves between them.

  1. Orders and customers come in

    A sales order in Exact Online appears in Frontlink with its customer, lines and delivery date, ready to plan.

  2. Items and bills of materials stay in sync

    Item codes, recipes and units stay leading in Exact. A change there is picked up in Frontlink, not maintained twice.

  3. Production and shipments go back

    Produced quantities, used lots and shipped goods are booked back, so stock is right and invoicing can start the same day.

How we connect it.

  1. You approve access once

    You log in to Exact Online and give Frontlink access to the administration you choose. No passwords are stored with us.

  2. We match your data

    We map items, warehouses and customers, and agree which fields Frontlink may write back.

  3. We test, then switch on

    We run a week of orders side by side and compare the bookings before the connection goes live.

Other integrations.

Where you see it in Frontlink.

  1. Orders and customer contactRequests arrive by email, as PDF or Excel. Frontlink calculates the quote, prepares the order in your ERP and keeps the customer informed all the way to shipment.
  2. Warehouse and stockFrontlink knows per lot what is there, where it is and how long it is good for. The warehouse picks by shelf life, stock matches what was really used, and a lot can be traced in one click.
  3. PerformanceFrontlink measures rate, downtime and scrap per line, per order and per shift. So you see where things go wrong while it still matters, and what an order really cost.

Frequently asked questions.

What does Frontlink add to Exact Online?

Exact Online keeps orders, stock and invoices. Frontlink runs what happens next in the factory: the plan, the work at the line, the checks, the lots and how fast the machines run. What was made and used goes back to Exact.

Does Frontlink replace Exact Online?

No. Exact stays your administration for finance, purchasing and invoicing. Frontlink runs the factory and keeps Exact up to date.

What if we have more than one administration?

Each administration is connected separately, and you choose which one an order or location belongs to.

Which data does Frontlink write back to Exact Online?

Produced quantities, consumed materials with their lots, stock movements between locations and delivered orders. What is written back is agreed per company.

How often is data exchanged?

Orders and master data are picked up within minutes. Production and stock bookings go back as soon as they are confirmed on the floor.
