EDI

Electronic commerce services and supply chain management for logistics management and e commerce business

We provide open and viable Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions for your fulfillment supply chain management so you can communicate easily and with your larger distributors. It means be able to read your retailers’ purchase orders, invoices, and electronic documents. It means being cost conscious for your fulfillment operations and the DCs you ship to. It means keeping profits and technology synchronization high.

EDI for e commerce business companies is very different from traditional Electronic Data Interchange. When dealing with retailers the volume of transactions increases by the hundreds. Shipping to a distribution center or a store is different from drop shipping to the consumer. The transaction volume soars, order cycles are handled in a matter of minutes rather than hours, and transaction cycles are much shorter.

Competitiveness in Fulfillment Distribution: Retailers wishing to remain competitive in the fulfillment supply chain management require EDI. Newer technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) are now used. Labels are used for better and faster tracking of goods. AS2, a transmission protocol for secure and direct connections over the internet, is being used to make transmissions between trading partners faster and more cost effective. The Universal Catalog, specifically designed to achieve worldwide product standardization of item information, pricing details, and more Electronic Data Interchange services are being used.

Inventory control is key to proper warehousing and logistics management and in order to minimize the time from receiving to stocking and making products available to sell, retailers typically request a myriad of services to be made available to them from the third party logistics business fulfillment partners. This includes labeling, detailed packing lists, and more.

We are experts in dealing with small business solutions. Our solutions are affordable, and include the same high level of functionality and usability you would expect. What’s even better, the same software technology is shared by small and large clients, providing small businesses an excellent growing path. Fulfillment clients start with stand-alone software or web-based EDI capabilities to run a complete operation, including document turn-around, label printing, and shipping documents. Electronic Data Interchange may be a very important aspect of the procurement departments for some retailers.
