Overview

Process automation that is effective, reliable, and economical depends upon proper integration, which is straightforward but not trivial. The challenge is activating the several dozen correct fields among the hundreds available for each document and direction. The interface structure can be complex and difficult to tackle, so eliminate manual steps. When process automation is achieved your connection to Infor is completely integrated: your Customer Service, Purchasing, and Shipping Department will not need access your EDI system.

We work with the three components of reliable and economical EDI:

  1. The Adage EDI interface
  2. Your existing EDI system
  3. Secure Internet data transmission (AS2 or AS3)

EDI integration is something that you must do well and ensure that the best business practices are being followed. Here are the necessary deliverables our DCS PROCESS™ provides:

  • Planning
  • EDI Development
  • Adage Configuration
  • Implementation

The EDI perspective is clear: the Adage EDI gateway is robust and reliable.

  • DCS has experience with most of the 800 U.S. companies conducting X12 or GS1 EDI.
  • Popular transaction sets such as Inbound PO’s (850 or 875), Outbound ASN’s (856), and Outbound Invoices (810 or 880) have been implemented at all of our Adage customers.
  • Connections using secure Internet (EDI INT AS2) reduce cost by elimination of pricey Value Added Networks.

Conclusion

You will enjoy a wider fulfillment window when the data entry step is eliminated because Customer Service has more time to scrutinize orders for the correct price and discounts. You will also avoid costly, last minute changes and expedited shipments.
