Overview
Extensiv (previously known as Skubana) is an operations platform that is integrated with the Whiplash order and warehouse management application. The integration allows customers to obtain real-time order and shipment data.
Benefits
This solution not only provides accelerated implementation timelines leading to cost reductions, but also significantly enhances the probability of a successful ERP implementation. The resulting operational efficiency is achieved through the seamless automation of crucial tasks, including order processing and inventory updates.
How it works
The integration between Whiplash and Extensiv creates a real-time, two-way sync of data to the specific warehouse your company has set up for Whiplash.
The Whiplash team will be doing an initial sync of all your SKUs from our assigned Extensiv warehouse. This will also allow Whiplash to receive POs, orders, and returns and send back all receipts, fulfillments, and adjustments that will track your inventory.
The following resources are included in the Extensiv Integrations:
- Orders: Upon submission to Extensiv, orders will assume an initial state of 'Awaiting 3PL Export.' Once imported into Whiplash, the status will be immediately updated to 'Pending Fulfillment.
- Order Fulfillment: When an order is shipped, the order will be updated to “shipped” and will include the shipped date, shipping method, order tracking number, and order tracking link.
- Items: New and updated items on Extensiv will auto-sync with Whiplash.
- Inventory Transactions: Inventory adjustments are recorded as real-time events and sent to the integration to update inventory in Extensiv.
- Ship Notices: New POs on Extensiv will auto-sync with Whiplash once approved. Whereas any updated PO will attempt to update the corresponding ship notice in Whiplash. Ship notices where the receiving has begun will fail to update.
-
Ship Notice Receipts: As each item is received, real-time events are sent to the integration to update inventory in Extensiv:
- Items received as "Damaged" in Whiplash will not be sent to Extensiv.
- Once the ship notice is complete, the status is updated in Extensiv on the corresponding PO.

- Automatically add the item and create the order.
