what is edi? do i need it?
You've just signed a deal with one of the "Big Box" players. Congratulations! You've worked hard, and you've succeeded...your widget is going to be available to everyone!
Now here comes the fun ... how will you both work out the details of ordering? fulfillment? shipping? tracking? Invoicing? How can you keep your costs down to maximize profits and fulfill your obligation?
THROUGH EDI - Electronic Data Interchange - the passing back and forth of bits of data between you and your "Big Box" partner. If you have decided to deal with the "Big Box" stores, you will need to use EDI to transmit your orders, your packing lists, your shipping information, and your invoices. They in turn will confirm they've received your orders, your packing lists and your invoices. All electronically. Through EDI.
Now that you know what it is, we can help you through the process, from vetting your EDI vendors, confirming your data is passing through correctly and come back properly and that you are using the correct forms for transmission. With our years of experience in this area, we can help you through every step of the process.
We can even manage your project from start through implementation.
