Final Thoughts...
As you can see there are many similarities and differences between EnvoyB2B and NuORDER.
Both options can sync customers, items, inventory and orders.
But the main differences have to do with the speed of deployment and integrations. Envoy can be deployed within 1-3 weeks and provides real-time integration syncs between inventory and sales orders providing up to the second information whereas NuORDER syncs are every 15 minutes and takes several months to deploy.
The last and final distinction between the two offerings is that EnvoyB2B is purpose built for the Apparel, Footwear and Accessories industry, whereas NuORDER supports other verticals.
If you run NetSuite and are in the AFA industry you'd be hard pressed to finder a better B2B Portal solution than Envoy.
