Universal Syncs
Automate complex data workflows between Spire and your connected systems.
A headless ETL engine powering Terracor solutions and internal processes. Built for B2B distributors running Spire — and compatible with Sage BusinessVision/300/X3 and SAP.
Automating Supplier & Product Updates Across Channels
Summary
Distributors need accurate, timely product data across ERP and online channels. Manual updates cause delays and inconsistencies.
Challenge
Suppliers send price lists, spec files, and stock updates in mixed formats. Re-importing into Spire and keeping Storefront/Customer Portal aligned is labor-intensive and error-prone.
Solution
Universal Syncs ingests supplier files (API/CSV/XLS/FTP), maps and validates against Spire structures, applies business rules (vendor-specific pricing, category mapping, attribute normalization), and publishes clean data to Terracor Storefront/Customer Portal.
Outcome (Benefits & ROI)
- Accurate product, price, and stock across all channels
- Significant reduction in manual imports and data fixes
- Faster catalog updates & fewer order issues → higher customer trust
Visual Workflow
Connecting Spire to a 3PL or Logistics Partner
Summary
Growing distributors outsource fulfillment but need tight, automated data flow between Spire and 3PL systems.
Challenge
Manual exports/imports slow order transmission, create inventory mismatches, and increase support tickets.
Solution
Universal Syncs automates order feeds, shipment confirmations, and inventory adjustments between Spire and any 3PL (API, EDI, SFTP, or flat-file). Robust error handling ensures failed transmissions are retried and logged.
Outcome (Benefits & ROI)
- Same-day order flow to 3PL; fewer shipping delays
- Accurate on-hand in Spire for better promise-dates
- Lower support workload; scales without extra admin headcount
Visual Workflow
Custom Data Pipeline for Dealer & Portal Analytics
Summary
Leadership and reps need unified, trustworthy KPIs that span Spire, Dealer Portal, and Storefront transactions.
Challenge
Ad-hoc reporting pulls from multiple systems, causing lag and "multiple versions of the truth."
Solution
Universal Syncs extracts and normalizes data from Spire and Terracor portals into a reporting store for BI tools (e.g., Power BI or Looker Studio). Schedules keep dashboards refreshed automatically.
Outcome (Benefits & ROI)
- Reliable, daily-refreshed dashboards for dealers, products, and customers
- Faster decisions with less manual report prep
- Improved targeting for promos and inventory buys
Visual Workflow
Built for Integration. While optimized for Spire, Universal Syncs also works with Sage BusinessVision/300/X3 and SAP — so your data foundation can evolve without re-engineering.
