VTS Web Services allows third-party business applications to do more than simply retrieve data from the VTS historical database. Enterprise-level business solutions, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, are able to use VTS services that you choose to make available from your VTS application.
This may be as simple as developing remote reporting and monitoring applications or as complex as a delivery scheduling system that relies on calculations done in VTS to predict when material deliveries will be required.
Business applications make requests to VTS over a network via a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) interface. VTS interprets these requests, performs the requested actions and responds in the requested format.
Note: Adding Web Services to your VTS application requires an understanding of XML, SOAP, and VTS programming techniques.
