Electronic Distributor Integrations

Decision Logic is proud to support an extensive list of Distributor Integrations. Our list is always growing. Please see a full list of supported distributors at https://decisionlogic.co/integrations/

Adding a store to an existing Distributor integration

Integrations are developed by Distributor Opco or Division. First, confirm the distributor integration you need already exists in your Distributor's Maintenance.
No development support from Decision Logic should be needed to add restaurants to existing distributor integrations.
Simply add the restaurant to your Distributors Maintenance#DistributorStores and Order Guide Maintenance.
Contact your distributor requesting they add your new restaurant to the existing integration.
Once your distributor confirms they are posting files to your existing integration, co-ordinate your test order.
You should see Invoices reporting to Decision Logic as soon as the distributor adds them to your integration.

Adding a new distributor requires custom development. Please speak to your Account Manager to initiate requests.

Adding a new Distributor to your Decision Logic website

Begin by contacting your Account manager to submit a request for a new integration.
We also recommend reaching out to your distributor as soon as possible to let them know.
Once you have collected the requirements (or if you need help collecting requirements), submit a Distributor Integration request to our customer portal here.
When your request is received, it will go into an integration queue to be followed up by our Account Management team to issue a scope of work for the development of the integration.
