Two of the promotional products industry’s most powerful tools have joined forces. eXtendtech, which is a NetSuite application tailored to promo, has announced the debut of eXtendSAGE-DE, an application that integrates with SAGE Total Access for the benefit of distributors.

  • SAGE is PPAI’s official technology partner.

eXtendSAGE-DE integrates API services that are offered by SAGE, which includes PDX, the formula behind PPAI’s mission to avoid unnecessary phone calls and emails.

“It’s been just under three years since we introduced our NetSuite friends to our friends at PPAI,” says Dino Bangiorno, MAS, eXtendTech’s managing director. “As a result of this introduction, our team has witnessed first-hand how quickly this has accelerated digital transformation for PPAI member companies.

“At the same time, we’ve also seen how this partnership has become one of the most successful industry association partnerships for Oracle-NetSuite as well. It’s a great win-win scenario.”

  • In total, users have access to a product database of more than 1 million products from at least 4,300 suppliers.
  • NetSuite (PPAI 628356) users can now utilize the capabilities that come with SAGE, such as Search, Creation and order status updates.

“We developed the SAGE integration for NetSuite in response to client demand,” says Shawn White, MAS, director of applications and technical project management at eXtendTech. “We wanted to make their workflows more efficient by allowing them to look up items, check inventory, create new items and track order status all within one system.

“It’s something our clients have been asking for, and I’m really pleased we were able to deliver it. It’s about making their lives easier and giving them the tools they need to be connected.”

Both SAGE and NetSuite have partnered with PPAI in separate capacities to drive forward the Association’s mission to create frictionless growth opportunities for member companies through digital transformation.

  • PPAI has organized a NetSuite User Group to share best practices, tips for maximizing the platform, potential troubleshooting and networking surrounding Oracle NetSuite.

A complete list of business service providers, such as NetSuite and SAGE, can be found at PPAI’s Solutions Center, which points members toward the tools they need to address all the obstacles or objectives their companies face.
