Benefits of Choosing DCS as your EDI Consultants

Choose your System

Select the best software for your business needs. When working with DCS, you aren't constrained to a sole, proprietary system. You get to choose from best-in-class EDI and e-commerce software to complement and grow your business. The system you select can become a capital asset, allowing you to make the most of your budget.

Own Your Maps

All the EDI development work we complete belongs to you. You own the code and can choose your preferred long-term maintenance method and select your desired resources. You get to decide if you would like your team to manage updates internally, partner with DCS to maintain and support, or select another third party of your choice. You are in charge.

Control Your Technology

You decide what type of system is best for your business and how you want to manage it in the short and long term. You also decide how to handle your maps and trading partner relationships. You are in control of the type and timing of all changes to ensure they align with your business needs, allowing you to avoid unexpected or ill-timed modifications

Leverage Our EDI Expertise

DCS developers offer 100+ combined years of EDI experience across many industries, platforms, and business systems. We have deep knowledge and understanding of the EDI and e-commerce software requirements of the major players in each industry and have experience implementing all types of EDI relationships.

Cost Benefit

DCS does not charge monthly or volume-based fees for our services. You are billed only for hours of work rather than ongoing fees. If you're working within a strict budget we can maximize our work within your allotted hours, completing as much as possible, or address specific deliverables to achieve the most pressing needs. In either case, we work with you to create the right balance of budget and outcome.

Dedicated Specialists

We assign dedicated onshore developers who specialize in your specific EDI system, ensuring streamlined and efficient implementation. Unlike those who take a generalized approach, where projects are distributed among a pool of developers, we focus on providing specialists who bring deep knowledge and tailored solutions for your needs.
