Integration
The Integration area contains IMS workflows that exchange operational data with specialized external systems. In IMS 9.4.4 it includes Starco Stock Take, V-Count Settings and the new Integration Center.
Integration menu
| Module | Scope |
|---|---|
| Starco Stock Take | Exports Store inventory data in the formats required by the handheld stock-taking application, with optional Supplier filtering. |
| V-Count Settings | Maintains V-Count connection settings used by IMS automation to collect Store traffic data for reporting and conversion analysis. |
| Integration Center | Creates and maintains configurable outbound integration endpoints, previews their source views, monitors current health and reviews detailed synchronization logs. |
How the three workflows differ
Starco Stock Take is a purpose-built outbound export for handheld physical stock taking.
V-Count is a purpose-built traffic integration whose connection settings are consumed by the background automation process.
Integration Center is the configurable integration framework introduced in IMS 9.4.4. Each integration defines its source view, endpoint, authentication, trigger and JSON payload settings. IMS Autos executes active MORNING_SHIFT endpoints after the daily maintenance shift and writes each request result to the Sync Log; MANUAL remains a supported trigger classification without an Integration Center Run button in IMS 9.4.4.
