EDI For Non-Resale Suppliers

The pressure for EDI process automation rises.

Overview

Companies providing equipment or supplies to large merchants or manufacturers are now in the cross-hairs. Since their sophisticated and effective inventory management systems have proven effectiveness, their next tier of non-resale or non-production vendors will be linked.

Some vendors will fail to realize that manual and error prone uploads are too costly. Growing vendors know the time is now to accommodate a direct and automated ERP to EDI link. Fortunately your existing system and hard earned EDI knowledge can be used.

E-Commerce has brought evolutionary changes to the way business is conducted. Every traditional business process has been improved. The business areas impacted are:

• Receiving Customer Sales Orders
• Sending PO Acknowledgments
• Sending Invoices
• Receiving E-payments
• Secure Internet data transmission
• More

Most major U.S. and Canadian retailers and manufacturers are requiring that their vendors utilize these technologies.
