Connect any way
BizLink gives you complete flexibility. Any data format. Any transport. Any security. With BizLink, how you connect is up to you. BizLink enables simple "point-and-click" configuration of each partner's data exchange preferences. Regardless of your trading partner's level of technical sophistication, BizLink provides the solution. Even smaller or remote partners can electronically communicate with you via our secure transaction mailbox functionality for email or browser-based data exchange.
And, BizLink's open connectivity extends to improving business processes by greatly simplifying legacy system integration, as well as providing support for GS1 and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
Ease of use
BizLink comes equipped with intuitive "Quick Start Wizards" which walk you step-by-step through AS1 and AS2 setup and trading partner configuration. And should you need it, its user-friendly interface provides easy access to on-screen help and Inovis' web-based customer support.
