Thomas Jefferson Foundation Relies on InOrder
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation recently turned on an integration from Yahoo Store to InOrder utilizing the InOrder EDI module. This EDI module allows communication to and from an EDI Service Vendor or translation software, enabling seamless EDI communication between InOrder and your Trading Partners. In this case, Morse Data Corporation built a customized EDI integration directly using Yahoo Store’s XML services.
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation preserves and maintains Monticello, the third president’s home in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Foundation engages a global audience in a dialogue with Thomas Jefferson’s ideas. The Foundation seeks to facilitate conversations and to use its extensive research and knowledge to stimulate interactions on a variety of topics that were of keen interest to Thomas Jefferson, the most powerful of which are liberty and self- government. Through virtual, off-site and on-site engagement, including retail operations, the Foundation seeks to excite the world about Jefferson’s relevance today and ignite a passion for history.

InOrder ERP Guides Warehouse Personnel through the Warehouse with RF Guided Putaway
Warehouse Management, in part, means controlling where inventory is put away and how it gets to the correct storage location in the most efficient way possible. InOrder does it with precision and innovation using tried and true logic while keeping up with the latest technology.
Guided putaway tasks are generated by inventory transactions. An item being received may be put away directly using the inventory receipt transaction, by processing received inventory in the Receipt QC window to generate a put-away inventory transfer, or by manually entering an inventory transfer after the receipt.
Inventory transfers may also be generated to move all contents of a selected warehouse bin, to their final destination, en masse (rather than individual bin moves).
The [Inventory Transaction] window’s line item entry section for inventory transfers provides convenient entry of both “From” and “To” Bins.
As with Guided Picking, these tasks are also assigned by the warehouse manager.
The Guided Putaway process includes scanning the item in the receiving area (picking), entering the quantity being putaway, and scanning the label of the putaway bin as the item is put away into the bin. One or more of these scans may be bypassed using security privileges.
The following options are available for RF Putaway:
- Pick and Putaway Items in Batch – This process directs the RF user to first pick all items in the batch, if applicable, then the RF user is directed to putaway the items.
- Pick Entire Batch – This option is available if your batch includes items being picked from a single bin location (such as the dock, for example). Then items may be putaway.

InOrder at IRCE 2014
IRCE 2014 featured many products that sounded like they would be very helpful business tools. Tools that can save you money – like auditing shipping costs, or packing slips that can help you market your products. Tools that can help you highlight your products, like videos, 3D photography, and images that change when a shopper clicks a specific pattern or color.
An agenda full of workshops and sessions covering a wide selection of eCommerce topics filled each day of the show.
One of the most enjoyable activities for me was the chance to meet new people, and some of the people we work with electronically. Here are a couple of pictures – We’re sorry we don’t have more pictures!

Now Your Customers Can Share Your Products on Social Media (Plus More!)
Ready for more InOrder Web cart features? We’ve got them — three new ones live now! These features come standard with the default InOrder Web cart that’s part of the eCommerce module. If you have any questions about these and other features we’re rolling out, please call us!
New Feature #1: Social media sharing
The InOrder shopping cart is now integrated with the AddThis sharing service. AddThis allows your Web customers to share pages from your online store with their friends and networks on social media sites, including Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. Allowing customers to share product pages with their social networks is a great way for you to bring in more traffic and find new customers.
As an aside, you can download this great report from Constant Contact, If You Like It, Put a Pin In It, on how to drive traffic and sales with Pinterest. Data show that because Pinterest is so heavy on visuals, people (mostly women, the site’s largest demographic) are using the site as a catalog — meaning, they go there to shop!
New feature #2: Shipping rate and delivery estimates
The new shipping feature shows shipping rates and delivery times during checkout when Web customers are logged in. Summary totals are updated as new items are added to the cart. Providing customers with more complete information about shipping rates and times throughout the checkout process helps decrease the rate of shopping cart abandonment as people know how much they’re spending as they shop.
New feature #3: Preferred currency selection
With this InOrder update, Web customers in other countries can set their preferred currency while shopping.
Once a customer selects a currency, product prices are automatically displayed in the customer’s preferred currency using current exchange rates. This new feature simplifies the shopping process for customers and increases the likelihood of them completing the purchase process.
