The information needed to move transactions forward can be shared automatically and in real-time.

Supplier Continental Headwear is now offering distributors real-time, around-the-clock visibility to Media Content to save time and make more efficient partnerships.

Essent® implemented the integration endpoint for Continental Headwear via the Essent OrderTrax® Network using PromoStandards.

It’s the fourth integration endpoint for Continental Headwear. Continental Headwear previously made Order Status, Order Shipment Notification, and Product Data available to distributor partners by integrating via the Essent OrderTrax Network and PromoStandards.

The advantage of integration is that the information needed to move transactions forward can be shared automatically and in real-time, rather than slowly and manually through countless calls and emails.

Continental Headwear is actively seeking to share the time-saving service with more distributors, who can contact Essent to get started.

Other information types, or endpoints, that can be integrated in addition to Order Status, Order Shipment Notification, Product Data, and Media Content are: Inventory, Invoices, Purchase Orders, and Product Pricing & Configuration.
