Is your web-shop home grown or a package? We're always getting enquiries about which web shop software has been integrated with e-conomic.

Also for our local admin systems to look up customer details and customer balances. I find there are a few limitations with it though. Like some of the things that we would find most useful is finding a customer by a phone number, and being able to update stock through the API (when importing new products from a database or csv file etc.) But all in all it's pretty good, and the speed seems to have improved lately over what it was at the beginning!

Do you use a package for your e-commerce back-end, or a home-built system? Marcus – thanks for the response. Do you use a package for your e-commerce back-end, or a home-built system?

So now, when an order is placed on our website the customer records and invoice are automatically created in e-conomic. The ability to do this was our main requirement for an accounting platform but everything we looked at was woefully inadequate for multi-currency automated imports. E-conomic was the exception with it's impressive API. We’re using the API for automated sales invoice creation from our e-commerce back-end.
