Printing Supplier Needs to Expand EDI Capabilities
DCS Finds Solution to Satisfy Larger Trading Partners
EDI Challenge
This printing company had some electronic commerce including web capabilities. However, their large customers required more and they also needed to expand their non-production EDI capabilities.
DCS Solution
Using Sterling Commerce’s Gentran:Director™, DCS added inbound PO’s (850) and outbound invoices (810) to their existing web EDI processes. This satisfied the requirements of their larger trading partners. DCS also provided training on non-production EDI and on maintaining their EDI system.
