B2B wholesale platform integrations for apparel ERP: every platform your retailers buy on, one AIMS360 order book

B2B wholesale integration questions, answered

Which B2B wholesale platforms integrate with AIMS360?

Nine today, plus the two AIMS360 builds itself. Native API connections built and maintained by AIMS360 for JOOR, NuORDER, RepSpark and Brandboom; a scheduled API connection for FashionGo; the Shopify connection for Shopify B2B; a per-program connection for Faire; native EDI for Amazon Vendor Central; and a scheduled file pickup for Brandwise. AIMS360 also has its own B2B wholesale portal (WebLink) and sales rep iPad app (RemoteLink), which share collections and need no integration at all. Every route lands orders in the same customer orders module against the same stock record.

How do JOOR or NuORDER orders get into an ERP automatically?

Through the platform's own API, with no file drop in the middle. AIMS360 publishes styles, linesheets or catalogs, customers and open to sell to the platform, so a rep or buyer writes the order against the line and availability the ERP knows about. When the order is saved, AIMS360 imports it as a live sales order on the right customer account with the rep attached, validates it, and holds anything that fails with the reason recorded so it can be fixed in bulk and re-run. On JOOR and NuORDER that is a direct API integration AIMS360 wrote and maintains; on Brandboom it is event driven through webhooks; on FashionGo it runs on a schedule you set. Every run is logged as a workflow in AIMS360.

Do I need JOOR if I already have my own B2B wholesale portal?

Only if your retailers buy on JOOR. A portal such as WebLink is where the accounts you already have log in, see the collections you opened to them and reorder; nobody can find you there. JOOR, NuORDER and RepSpark are where certain retailers, especially department stores and larger specialty chains, prefer to write and manage their buys across every brand they carry, so a brand joins because its buyers are already there. Marketplaces such as Faire and FashionGo add retailer discovery on top. Most AIMS360 brands run more than one: the portal and rep app for house accounts, a platform for the accounts that live on it, EDI for the majors. Because all of them import into one order book, the choice is commercial, not technical. The wholesale B2B platforms guide walks through that choice.

JOOR vs NuORDER: which one should a clothing brand use?

From the integration side, both are native API connections that AIMS360 built and maintains, both publish styles, customers and availability, both import orders automatically, and both handle several warehouses and work in process. The differences that show up in the integration: on JOOR, AIMS360 sends open to sell by size and warehouse including negative immediate stock and work in process with its delivery date, so a buyer choosing a later delivery sees future availability netted correctly; on NuORDER, availability covers on hand stock, work in process and pre-book before production exists, and inventory changes surface within minutes. The deciding factor is almost always which platform your key retailers already buy on, and what each platform charges, which is a conversation with the platform rather than with us; the guide compares the two in more depth.

Does Shopify have wholesale B2B built in, and how does it connect to an ERP?

Yes. Shopify B2B is Shopify's built in wholesale feature on Shopify Plus: company profiles, price lists and catalogs per account, payment terms such as net 30, and saved payment methods, all in the same admin as the online store. It connects to AIMS360 through the same Shopify integration as your consumer store, so styles and open to sell go out per location and B2B orders come back as AIMS360 orders with fulfillment and tracking sent back. What Shopify B2B does not do is run the rest of the business: allocation against production, EDI to major retailers, warehouse, costing and accounting still sit in the ERP. One limit to plan for: a single Shopify store cannot carry both retail and wholesale prices from AIMS360 at the same time, so a wholesale store is its own connection. The Shopify B2B page has the detail.

What is the best B2B wholesale platform for an apparel brand?

The one your retailers already buy on. Brands selling to department stores and larger specialty retailers tend to end up on JOOR or NuORDER because the buyers write their orders there; a rep force that wants branded catalogs and buyer self service looks at RepSpark; reps who mainly present a linesheet and capture orders on the road look at Brandboom; a brand chasing new independent retailers lists on Faire or FashionGo and pays for the discovery; a brand with a Shopify Plus store and trade accounts can switch on Shopify B2B. The wholesale B2B platforms guide compares all of them, with costs. The question this page answers is different: whichever you pick, or however many, the orders, the availability and the books stay in one place in AIMS360.

How does AIMS360 stop the same units being sold twice across JOOR, Faire, Shopify and EDI?

Every channel reads from one stock record. Open to sell is calculated by an OTS template that nets stock, allocations and, if you choose, work in process due within a window, and that figure is what gets published to each platform per warehouse. Intelligent allocation then reserves units against imported orders by rules you set, including warehouse, dates, customer priority and order source, so an EDI purchase order, a JOOR order and a Faire order are competing for the same units inside the ERP rather than each platform thinking it has the whole pile. On JOOR the integration sends negatives rather than hiding them, so an oversold immediate quantity is netted from incoming work in process instead of being sold again.

Can AIMS360 publish work in process and pre-book availability to wholesale platforms?

On JOOR, yes: work in process is sent with its expected delivery date, so immediate and future availability show separately. On NuORDER, yes: on hand stock, work in process and pre-book before production exists are all published, and warehouses are mapped individually. On the Shopify connection, work in process counts when it falls inside the window on the OTS template. For RepSpark, Brandboom, FashionGo and Faire the availability published is open to sell from the same stock record; whether future dated units are included is confirmed with your implementation manager, because the platforms differ in what they can display.

How much does Faire cost a brand, and what does AIMS360 do with Faire orders?

Faire's published commission is 25 percent on the first order from a retailer Faire found you, 15 percent on reorders, 0 percent on retailers you bring yourself through Faire Direct, with an optional next day payout at around 3 percent; those are Faire's figures, so confirm the current rate card with Faire. Faire also funds the retailer's net 60 terms and pays you, so there is no invoice cycle to run. AIMS360 handles the operational side: Faire orders land in the same order queue as your EDI, portal and rep orders, availability is published from one stock record with commitments netted out, and picking, shipping and the accounting record run through the same warehouse and 3PL connections as everything else. The connection is configured to your program during implementation. Details on the Faire page.

Does the integration send invoices and tracking back to the platform?

It depends on the platform. RepSpark receives invoices and tracking so buyers check status themselves. Amazon Vendor Central receives the 856 advance ship notice and the 810 invoice by EDI, which is how a 1P relationship works. Shopify B2B orders are fulfilled back with tracking through the Shopify connection. FashionGo receives an order confirmation once the order is fully allocated. JOOR shows an export status per order and NuORDER logs each run. Where a platform has no documented return path for tracking, the order still carries it inside AIMS360 and on the customer's portal login.

What happens when an imported wholesale order fails?

It is held, not lost. An order that is missing something AIMS360 requires, typically terms, ship via or a sales rep on the account, or a style the platform has that AIMS360 has not mapped, fails validation and moves to a failed import view with the reason. From there you can set the missing value on one order or on every selected order at once and import again. On the automated connections every download, import, allocation and confirmation is a logged workflow you can read and re-run, and the platform pages describe the failure modes for each one. The usual prevention is to set terms, ship via and rep on the customer account the platform imports against before the first order arrives.

Can I connect a wholesale platform AIMS360 does not have a connector for?

Usually. Three routes, from simplest to most involved. Any platform that exports orders to a spreadsheet can be loaded with the AIMS360 order import. A platform that can drop a file on a server can be picked up on a schedule, which is how Brandwise is connected today, orders in only. And the AIMS360 Open API exposes styles, customers, inventory and orders, so a platform with its own API can be connected as a scoped project. None of the existing connections is switched on by a marketplace toggle either; each is activated and mapped with the AIMS360 team.

How is a B2B platform order different from an EDI order from a major retailer?

A JOOR, NuORDER or Faire order is written by a person on a platform and arrives as a sales order to allocate, pick, ship and invoice on your terms. An EDI order from a department store or big box retailer arrives as an 850 purchase order under the retailer's vendor agreement, and shipping it means routing guides, GS1-128 carton labels, an 856 advance ship notice before the freight lands and an 810 invoice, with chargebacks when any of that is missed. AIMS360 runs EDI in house for 350+ retailers beside the platform connections, so both kinds of order sit in the same queue and draw on the same inventory, but the compliance work only applies to the EDI side. The EDI retailers hub covers that side.

Bring us a day of wholesale orders

The fastest way to judge a platform integration is to watch your own orders cross: written on JOOR, NuORDER or RepSpark in the morning, sitting in one AIMS360 queue beside the EDI and portal orders by lunch, allocated against the same units. Bring a day's worth and we will run them.
