Corporate LinX eXchange has been designed to communicate with the various systems having already been implemented in most organisations such as ERP, e-procurement solutions, EDI and e-invoicing systems. The Corporate LinX eXchange integrates information provided by other systems in order to compute data. Once processes have been carrried out, CLeX provides information back into the Buyer’s own information system. The constant dialogue is vital to maintain up to date information.

The supplier can elect the transmission mode with the CLeX Portail based on their technical capabilities and/or its constraints.
