EDGE is the Technology Engine that Propels TotalCommerce
Every TotalCommerce solution Jagged Peak delivers is built on and managed through the EDGE eCommerce
platform, which encompasses the ECP, OMS, WMS and TMS in one fully integrated framework. EDGE is a truly
world-class solution because it encompasses advanced website management funtionality as well as omnichannel
distributed order management capabilities.
All-in-One Functionality
EDGE’s robust capabilities, features and funcationality enable users to administer all of the activities related
to their online sales channels in real time. This is done through a single command-and-control interface
comprising modules that encompass every aspect of the eCommerce enterprise.
The EDGE Content Management System (CMS), called Agile™, has easy-to-use drag-and-drop layout tools that
enable users with very little technical know-how to dynamically build site navigation, create web pages, and
add pre-built eCommerce functionality, content, graphics and other rich media—all without the constraint of
templates or the need to involve IT.
Users can add and position site navigation, page layouts, shopping carts, catalogs, guided and
advanced search, customer reviews, side-by-side product comparisons, gift registries, wish-lists, email-a-friend,
order tracking, newsletter sign-ups and much more. Agile also supports multiple smaller-screen footprints for
mobile sites. Users can easily configure their website for responsive design, enabling it to
automatically switch to the appropriate view—either by browser detection or by giving the customer the
option to switch views based on the device.
The Order Management System (OMS) is the central commerce hub within EDGE. This is where orders are
aggregated from multiple websites, marketplaces, stores and call centers. EDGE accepts and processes all types
of orders, including sales orders, distribution orders and backorders, as well as blanket, split, auto-ship and
complex continuity orders. EDGE continually checks real-time inventory stock status, calculates taxes, lets
consumers opt to pay for expedited delivery, processes credit cards and deposits revenue in your bank account.
Its advanced Availability to Promise (ATP) functionality controls the capture of orders based on inventory
availability or scheduled availability. This is a fundamental eCommerce best practice that eliminates blind

order taking. EDGE also verifies shipping addresses, issues order picking instructions and prepares shipping docu-
ments—including those needed for international shipments, and then sends order execution instructions to the
optimal fulfillment provider based on inventory availability and proximity to the customer.
Omnichannel Analytics
With 360-degree visibility to all order activities, EDGE captures critical cross-channel
data. This data is graphically presented in the Channel Analytics module where it
can be used to build strategies and very targeted marketing initiatives to generate
higher conversions, average order values (AOVs), items per order and repurchase
rates. Users are able to create personalized dashboards to view data in a way that
makes it extremely relevant to their role. Reports with select analytics can be
generated on demand or set up for distribution daily, weekly, monthly or on any other schedule that provides
timely and actionable business intelligence insights. And, finally, a goals feature enables users to set-up and
track the progress of ads, campaigns and conversion paths across all channels, pinpointing the most successful
to ensure marketing dollars are spent to support company objectives.
Extensible Architecture Highly extensible, EDGE employs a broad set of APIs that make it easy to leverage third-party tools, apps and
services, including address validation, tax calculations, payment gateways, product reviews, surveys, advanced
guided search, etc. Additionally, EDGE employs an OpenTools integration layer and an Enterprise Service Bus
(ESB) adapter that support seamless integration with a wide array of internal and/or external systems via
data exchange (EDI/XML and flat files).
FlexNet™ Provides eCommerce Order Fulfillment Any Time, Any Place
Regardless of whether you’re shipping a single item or a truckload of goods, the end game is the same:
deliver the right product to the right place at the right time in the right condition … and do it at a profit.
FlexNet delivers on this promise, managing the supply side of the TotalCommerce solution.
Jagged Peak’s FlexNet fulfillment network is designed specifically for high-velocity, high-volume eCommerce
order fulfillment. It employs the fully integrated EDGE technology platform to provide
complete order and inventory visibility and transparency across your entire operational
footprint. And, because EDGE is Web-based, FlexNet applies virtual Web principles to
physical infrastructure. This means it can be deployed any place, any time to support
any program, any client and any product.
Essentially, FlexNet can fulfill orders wherever inventory exists. The fulfillment location
can be one of our authorized FlexNet fulfillment providers, another third-party logistics
provider, a retail store or any of your own distribution centers.

All Jagged Peak-owned and 3PL affiliate warehouses are integrated through the EDGE platform. EDGE
supports a highly automated and standardized order flow synchronized with real-time inventory availability
across multiple facilities. This provides total service accountability of order disposition,
inventory status and operational activities, and ensures that only
completely executable orders are sourced to the optimal distribution
point in real time. The result is a fine-tuned outbound supply that
consistently exceeds customers’ expectations.
FlexNet is specifically designed for same-day “perfect” order processing of small
parcel, B2C, B2B and bulk retail pack-out orders. As a result, the vast majority of
orders sourced through FlexNet reach most U.S. households next-day using
standard ground service, improving customer service and saving on shipping
costs. FlexNet even provides same-day delivery in several major metro locations
in the U.S. and Canada.
