Security

 
NECS understands that your data is precious and should never be allowed to get into the wrong hands. Because of this, our entrée.NET system was designed to protect your data every step of the way.

 

The following are some points to reassure you about the security of your data:

 

▪Customers using your website and entering orders are never directly on or have access to your company’s computer server.

▪Your entrée.NET software will run on a computer server, at a secure, offsite location.

▪All data is encrypted before transmission from your company's in-house server to the entrée.NET server.

▪Once loaded onto the server, your data is protected by several security measures and behind multiple “firewalls” so it’s safe from hackers and other unwanted intruders.

▪When customers log on with an authorized “Username” and “Password,” they can only view their own data, such as their open receivables and sales history. There are also options available to further limit what can be seen by your customers. For instance, you can prevent item prices from showing if you choose.

 

Shared Server vs. Dedicated Server

 
Normally, entrée.NET runs on a “shared server,” which means your license of the software is running on a server with other NECS customers.a “shared server” is normally fast enough for the average sized food distributor, having less than 500 orders/day entered via the entrée.NET system.

 

▪You also have the option to run entrée.NET on a “dedicated server”. This server would be maintained for you by NECS and would be devoted to your company’s use.

▪A dedicated server is ideal for food distributors with a large amount of data and many customer transactions, as it would provide the fastest possible operation of entrée.NET.

▪NECS recommends a dedicated server for our customers who average more than 500 customer orders/day.
