B2BGateway's EDI Connect App Brings Maclaren's Customer Communications Into the 21st Century!

Iconic baby stroller company uses newly developed B2BGateway EDI Connect App to manage all customer accounts with backend NetSuite ERP while on the go!

Maclaren, the company which introduced the world’s first lightweight aluminum baby stroller over fifty years ago, has announced that it has implemented B2BGateway’s EDI Connect App to help staff monitor all EDI customer accounts while on the move.

In order to improve supply chain efficiencies, comply with customer requirements and to scale for rapid growth, Maclaren enlisted the help of B2BGateway to integrate EDI with their NetSuite ERP system. Having a fully integrated, cloud based EDI solution allows Maclaren to automate the sending and receiving of standard business documents such as purchase orders, invoices and advanced shipping notifications (ASN) with global customers such as Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, John Lewis, Saks and Target to name but a few. Having B2BGateway’s EDI solution fully integrated with Maclaren’s NetSuite system removes the need for the Maclaren staff to manually re-key data; this in turn leads to reduced errors, lower labor costs and faster payments from their customers.

B2BGateway have made further improvements to their solutions offered to all clients by recently introducing the B2BGateway EDI Connect App. The App supports both iOS and Android platforms and is available to download for free on the Apple iTunes and Google Play app stores. While the existing B2BGateway platform allows users to manage their full EDI accounts, clients can now use the B2BGateway EDI Connect App on their Android and Apple devices to oversee trading partner relationships, daily EDI transactions and contact support 24/7. 

“B2BGateways’s cloud based, fully integrated EDI solution for NetSuite has greatly improved our overall supply chain efficiencies and customer communications,” states James Ramsey ICT Manager at Maclaren,” Now with this new wonderful B2BGateway EDI Connect App, I can catch up on where new trading partner setups stand on my walk into the office, or get a complete overview of all the day’s EDI transactions while watching my son’s soccer game.”

Louisa Gooding, Director of Sales & Strategic Relationships at B2BGateway adds “Our technologies are innovative because they meet the specific needs of business people around the world. Regardless of where they are, our clients will now have full access to all their EDI transactions thru the B2BGateway EDI Connect App. Our goal is to help clients increase productivity, generate greater market share and improve relationships with their customers. By downloading the B2BGateway EDI Connect App the user will now have instantaneous, up to date information regardless of geographical location or time zone.”  

There's an App for that - B2BGateway launches new EDI Connect App

Once users sign up for a B2BGateway EDI account, they can electronically exchange business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, etc., with trading partners without having to re-key any data. B2BGateway's EDI solutions are cloud based and fully integrate with the majority of ERP's as well as Warehouse and Inventory Management systems.

While the existing B2BGateway platform allows businesses to manage their full EDI accounts, clients can now use the B2BGateway EDI Connect app on their Android and Apple devices to oversee trading partner relationships, daily EDI transactions and contact their support engineers 24/7. 

B2BGateway is doing business without barriers, running regardless of geographical location, thanks to Internet connectivity, which allows for monitoring of processes in real time and keeping clients in touch with support engineers 24/7. For over 16 years B2BGateway focused on dynamic solutions in modernizing and transforming business processes. Today we manage the largest community of users in the EDI market, including over 4600 trading partners.

You would have to be hiding pretty far under a rock not to have heard about Apple’s newest gadget, the iPhone 4. Apple has become incredibly adept at creating an event around the launch of their products. People lined up overnight just for the chance to spend a whole mess of money on a fancy phone. Apple did their job and got people amped up. What they apparently forgot to do was test the actual phone part of their smart phone.

Almost immediately after the launch, people started complaining about dropped calls and terrible reception. Even worse was when the internet discovered that the reception actually dropped whenever the phone was actually in someone’s hand. That’s kind of a big miss in their QA department. Apple has since tried to make good by giving out free bumpers with the phones to try and mitigate the problems.

That’s an incredibly high profile example of what we try to avoid at B2BGateway.Net www.b2bgateway.net. Without proper testing, I’m not sure a single piece of our software would run properly. So we make sure to take that extra time to test properly and eliminate as many future problems as possible. Of course, there’s not enough time in the world to test every possibility, but we take care of the most common problems.

Don’t worry though, unlike Apple with their phone function, we fully test our EDI functions before they’re rolled out to the clients.
