EDI - Get In the Game!


Did you know?

 

·         The majority of the world’s leading retailers Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Carrefour, Tesco, Boots, CVS and thousands more will not offer your organization a supplier contract until your business is EDI enabled.

·         Fully integrated EDI solutions remove the need to re-key data, thus saving your organization time, money and greatly reducing costly errors and chargebacks.

·         You can use EDI to communicate effectively and efficiently with your Third Party Logistics Provider (3PL) or outsourced warehouse. Leading 3PL providers such as Kuehne+Nagel, Motivational Fulfillment & Logistics Services, Team Logistics, Kamino and many, many more use EDI to connect directly with your organization and your trading partners.

·         EDI is rapidly becoming best business practice in eCommerce and online retail (Amazon, Buy.com). Your organization can also use EDI to connect your shopping cart platform (3dcart, Magento, Volusion) to your back end business software.

·         By automating your organizations business document flow thru EDI you can speed up payment and greatly reduce your organizations ‘order to payment’ cash cycle.

·         Cloud based EDI solutions are extremely cost efficient and do not require your organization to invest in additional hardware, software or personnel.
