Does the “front-end” of Velocity include acquiring the data (EDI 852, EDI 816, Sears BusinessLink, Wal-Mart RetailLink, Lowes DART, etc.) from a specific source?
Velocity does not “acquire” data. It loads EDI, flat files, and retailer-proprietary files that are delivered to the application server through ftp or a simple file copy mechanism. Velocity can be scheduled to scan for new files on a regular basis. This extends to 3rd party data sources such as AC Nielsen, IRI, Spectra and TDLinx.
