TeamKBS partners with TrueCommerce to bring our clients an affordable, efficient, state-of-the-art EDI solution that integrates with their Business Management System.
Many suppliers and customers are requiring the use of EDI in order to conduct business as an official trading partner. Without the use of EDI, companies must use a paper-based system for transacting business – meaning, paper documents are mailed or faxed between companies to exchange information. As the trend towards “lean organizations” continues, manual transactions must be replaced with “lean processes” – that is, processes that require no duplicate data entry and virtually no re-keying for order placements. Eliminating manual data entry reduces inefficiencies associated with waiting for data to be received, input and verified. It also reduces potential for critical and costly data entry errors.
EDI enables the computer system of one company to “talk” to the computer system of another company and digitally exchange data. Because the digital exchange of data is facilitated using computer systems, most if not all of the associated business processes can be automated so they can occur with little or not manual intervention. |
EDI is a set of standards that collectively provide a common protocol for transacting business documents electronically. In essence, EDI is to electronic commerce as grammar is to verbal communications – it is a set of rules and guidelines that are applied when developing and implementing software and services designed to transmit business documents electronically. EDI provides a common language that enables businesses with dissimilar computer-based business systems to communicate with each other. |
