- What is Nexus for Spire?
- Nexus is the integration and intelligence platform from Cortexx Software, an Authorized Spire Integration Partner in Markham, Ontario. Nexus for Spire is Nexus connected to your Spire company: live dashboards and plain-English answers from your Spire data, with modules that write orders, quotes, requisitions and supplier bills into Spire.
- Does Nexus replace Spire?
- No. Spire keeps your customers, items, prices, orders, invoices and ledger. Nexus reads them live and adds what Spire has no place for, such as a sales pipeline, approvals, a warehouse floor and AI answers. When Nexus creates a document, it is a Spire document.
- How does Nexus connect to Spire?
- Two ways. It reads your Spire company's database directly, so every screen is live. Every order, quote or bill it creates goes through Spire's own REST API, signed in as a Spire user you set aside for it, so Spire itself creates each one.
- Does Nexus work with ERPs other than Spire?
- Nexus was built around Spire, and Spire is the ERP it runs on today: its screens read a Spire company, and every document it creates is a Spire document. If you run another ERP, tell us which one and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot do with it.
- Which versions of Spire does it support?
- Spire 3.13 and Spire 4.1. The Nexus build fails if any code relies on something only Spire 4 has, so a company still on 3.13 runs the same Nexus as one on 4.1. On an older version, ask us first.
- We run several Spire companies. Can one Nexus serve them all?
- Yes. Each Spire company gets its own Nexus database, and the company a person picks decides which Spire company every screen reads and writes.
- Can Nexus change our Spire data?
- Only through the modules you switch on, in the ways each one describes, and through a stock repair that only your Nexus administrators can run. The dashboards, the record screens and Ask Nexus read Spire and write nothing back. Modules such as Order Entry, Purchasing and Supplier bills create Spire documents, and each kind of warehouse write starts switched off. The repair corrects a part's committed or on-order quantity that no longer matches the documents behind it, for the parts an administrator picks, after they type the company name to confirm.
- Will our staff see things in Nexus that Spire keeps from them?
- Not the general ledger, payroll or margins. At every sign-in Nexus checks each person against their own Spire account, and whoever Spire keeps out of the general ledger, payroll or gross profit is kept out of them in Nexus too. Beyond that, your Nexus administrator decides who sees what, person by person.
- What does the AI see?
- Ask Nexus writes a query that only reads, checks it before it runs, and runs it through a separate read-only login to your Spire company, limited to the data the person asking is allowed to see. It answers only from the rows that query returns. What the model sees and what it can never touch is published on our AI privacy page.
- Who builds and supports it?
- Cortexx Software, the team that wrote Nexus. We are an Authorized Spire Integration Partner, we implement Spire too, and the people you meet are the people who do the work.
