EvolutionX has a 2 way integration with ECI Progress. This allows for data to be transferred between both systems. This data includes;

1 way integration - Orders from EvolutionX dropping into Progress

2 way integration - the following data points will transfer via export from Progress.

  • Customers

  • Users (only 1 user and Progress does not support multiple users - these should be created in EvolutionX)

  • Addresses

  • Cost Centres

  • Contract Products

Live Pricing - a live pricing call is supported between EvolutionX and Progress. Please obtain your live pricing key from ECI support. This can be implemented within your EvolutionX adminscreen - store settings>preferences>live pricing.

You can learn more about live pricing here

Both orders and customer/contract exports files are managed via FTP transfer. Evolution will create an FTP location to manage this.

You can learn more about this process on the below video

Please note - as Progress exports zip files, you will need to download the zip extractor onto the same PC where EvoLink resides. You can do this here - www.delstree.com/op/spicer_price_file_loader.zip

Export Schedule

Data will be exported automatically from Progress once per day. Once exported, the data will be collected by EvoLink within 60 minutes.

However, there is the option to manually push customers/contracts from Progress into EvolutionX. You can learn more about this by referring to the attached integration guide from ECI.
