    OzLink and MAS 200 SQL / Sage 100 Premium. OzLink is a middleware that links MAS and shipping software such as UPS WorldShip. It uses SOTAMAS90 to pull sales order data. This doesn't work with MAS 200 SQL versions as the SOTAMAS90 DSN isn't available. OzLink must be modified to pull data directly from the SQL Server. Be aware.

    Is the pricing on this product better/worse/comparable to the other products that fill this space? I'm thinking of the ASI Shipping Integration and ShipGear from V-Technologies as comparable products.

    does AzLink write back into Sage100? or just read from - since it used ODBC I would assume only read

    Based on the video it writes back tracking info, weight, etc...

    Pricing can be a good deal if the end user can get UPS to pay for it. If you are a large volume shipping, UPS will usually pay for the link and setup. UPS then has a tighter fit with their customer and has virtually eliminated any 3rd party shipping software. UPS pushes solutions that link to WorldShip.

    OzLink uses ODBC to read out and BOI to write back. These are done with vbscripts. I give the coding a C+.

    thanks for the info! I had not heard of OzLink, but UPS integration is a common request, we've used ShipGear, CrossLink, and Starship in the past. Each has pros and cons (some more ""cons"" than others).
