ERP and logistics systems integration should be

ERP and other logistics should be able to phase electronic systems, such as warehouse and logistics system interface, the interface with bar code scanning system, and electronic, said interface card access control system, etc., these interfaces with the increasing demand, ERP should not always deal with special cases, should include a unified open interface for easy connection with these systems.
