DataHub

This FAQ will go over the functionality of DataHub and the different types of data that can be transferred between companies that are both using Paradigm ERP. Written confirmation is required from both companies before a DataHub connection can be set up, even if only one company is going to receive data.

DataHub also has the option to receive POs directly from certain vendors, such as Do It Best and Orgill.

Contact Paragon Support for more information on pricing and getting DataHub connections set up. Information on DataHub preferences can be found here: DataHub: Preferences
