Definition
A web service is a service that allows two disparate systems communicate with each other via a standard messaging system.
It is likely that your Web Services are offline. Your web services could be offline because:
you are using a new broadband connection
an internal system error has caused the web service to stop
changes to services provided by your ERP provider has unknowingly caused an error to how your web services operate
other internal I.T. changes (for example, new phone system, new router and so on) that may affect how Aphix Digital Platform interacts with your web services.
Actions to take
Verify if your services are offline by logging into Management Interface, click on Customers and select Customers from ERP.
If a list of customers is displayed, your Web Services are most likely online.

If you think your Web Services are offline, contact your I.T service provider, ERP provider or reseller; they need to troubleshoot and restart your Web Services to get you back online.
