Akanea

Akanea is a French business software publisher and subsidiary of the ISAGRI Group, specialising in management solutions for professionals in the supply chain, transport, logistics, agri-food and customs sectors. Its application suites (TMS, WMS, customs and agri-food solutions) support companies in the digitalisation and optimisation of their flows, offering real-time visibility of operations, improved traceability and reliable management of their activities.

The integration between Monstock and Akanea creates a unified supply chain environment, in which operational and back-office teams work with shared, up-to-date and reliable information.

By connecting Monstock to Akanea, key data (references, movements, documents, statuses, etc.) automatically flows from one system to the other. Users avoid re-entering data, reduce the risk of errors and become more responsive throughout the entire operational cycle: from order management to field operations monitoring.

The main benefits for users are:

• Time savings on a daily basis: information already entered in Akanea or Monstock is automatically synchronised, reducing manual handling and redundant checks.
• Fewer errors and more reliable data: by eliminating re-entering data, the connector reduces the risk of inconsistencies between systems (stock discrepancies, reference errors, incorrect order statuses, etc.).
• Consistent view of the business: teams have a consistent view of management in Akanea and operational execution in Monstock, making it easier to track commitments, deadlines and priorities.
• Better quality of service: automatic updating of statuses and operational information enables faster and more accurate responses to internal or customer requests (order tracking, availability, progress of operations, etc.).
• Enhanced productivity: teams focus on value-added tasks (analysis, arbitration, management) rather than manipulating and consolidating multiple files or extracts.
• Solid basis for analysis and decision-making: aligned data between Akanea and Monstock facilitates reporting, operational performance monitoring and rapid identification of areas requiring attention.

With this connector, Monstock becomes the natural extension of Akanea in the field, while Akanea remains the management platform, with no data disruption between the two solutions.

General principles of integration

The connector between Monstock and Akanea is based on structured data exchanges, organised by major flow types: repositories, operational flows and control flows.

The objective is that:

• Akanea retains its role as the reference system for control (commercial data, administrative management, global monitoring).
• Monstock handles execution and operational monitoring in the field (stocks, movements, physical operations, preparation, etc.).
• The two solutions remain automatically aligned thanks to regular or near real-time synchronisation, depending on the scenarios defined in the integration diagram.

Reference flows (to be adapted according to your diagram)

This first type of flow ensures the alignment of databases between Akanea and Monstock.

Examples of formulations to be adapted to your diagram:

• Item/product reference: product information (codes, descriptions, units, families, key characteristics, etc.) is sent from Akanea to Monstock so that field operations are based on the same reference as that used for management in Akanea.
• Sites, warehouses, locations: the structure of sites and storage locations defined in Akanea is replicated in Monstock, ensuring an exact match between the two systems.
• Customers/suppliers/partners: any third-party data managed in Akanea can be made available in Monstock to facilitate flow identification and operational monitoring.

👉 Here, replace or adjust the types of reference systems exactly as shown in your diagram.

Operational flows (to be detailed according to the scenarios in the diagram)

Operational flows describe how business events flow between Akanea and Monstock throughout the lifecycle of an order, movement or operation.

You can use the following structure, to be completed with the exact flows from the diagram:

1. Creation/import of orders from Akanea to Monstock
2. Operational orders or documents (e.g. orders, preparation orders, transfer orders, etc.) are generated in Akanea and then transmitted to Monstock.
3. Monstock transforms them into operational tasks for field teams (preparation, receipt, transfer, inventory, etc.).
4. Updating statuses and quantities from Monstock to Akanea
5. At each key stage (receipt completed, preparation finished, operation validated, etc.), Monstock sends consolidated information back to Akanea: quantities actually processed, statuses, dates and any comments or anomalies.
6. Akanea thus has an up-to-date view of operational progress without any additional data entry.
7. Synchronisation of stock movements
8. Movements made in Monstock (entries, exits, transfers, controlled adjustments) are returned to Akanea to ensure consistency in stock levels and valuations.
9. Any business rules specific to Akanea (accounting management, analyses, distribution keys, etc.) can thus be applied to reliable data.

👉 For each point, replace the generic terms (orders, transfers, etc.) with the exact business objects present in your Akanea ↔ Monstock schema.

Control and reporting flows (if present in the schema)

If your schema includes flows dedicated to monitoring or reporting, you can use this template:

• Feedback of indicators from Monstock to Akanea: certain operational indicators (preparation rates, actual lead times, discrepancies, anomalies, etc.) can be sent back to Akanea to feed into dashboards and analyses.
• Data consolidation for management: by aggregating data from Monstock, Akanea provides a consolidated view that allows you to monitor performance, identify bottlenecks and prioritise corrective actions.

Business-oriented technical details (without jargon)

Without going into technical detail, you can conclude with a paragraph highlighting:

• Secure exchanges (controlled flows, exchange logs, synchronisation tracking).
• Control over update frequencies (real time, near real time or scheduled synchronisations, depending on what your diagram shows).
• Traceability of operations: each exchange between Akanea and Monstock allows the origin of the data and the update history to be traced.
