MAXIMIZE YOUR EDI INVESTMENT
MAXIMIZE SUPPLIER PARTICIPATION

Expanding and managing an EDI trading community can be an expensive, time consuming, and labor-intensive task. We work with some of the largest buying organizations in the world to develop successful programs which enable EDI for their suppliers in order to maximize the value of existing EDI investments.  

WE HELP MAKE ONBOARDING SUPPLIERS EASIER

Efficient EDI onboarding programs help buying organizations streamline their supply chains, improve supplier relationships, and expand their trading network. Our customizable programs and range of solutions help organizations get the most out of their EDI program by connecting them to more suppliers, even those unwilling or unable to do EDI.

Our team works with you to create an onboarding strategy tailored to your business and suppliers. Our proven methods lead to proven results. We begin by assigning a project manager to oversee any development that will be needed to support your program. Next, a dedicated EDI coordinator will be assigned as your main point of contact.

Our team of onboarding specialists work with your suppliers to find the best solution. This includes enrolling in automated testing and certification for suppliers who are already doing EDI, or for smaller suppliers without EDI capabilities we can get them started quickly with our WebEDI service. We provide real-time visibility of the compliance status of each supplier during the process.

HOW SUPPLIER EDI ENABLEMENT AND ONBOARDING WORKS

 

Supplier-Onboarding-Flowchart-Graph-Final

SUPPLIER OUTREACH

We manage the entire process of supplier enablement from initial communication and education about your implementation requirements to helping suppliers do EDI with you, regardless of their current EDI capabilities.

TESTING AND CERTIFICATION

Suppliers who are already EDI-capable can test their EDI mapping in real-time against your EDI implementation guides, ensuring they meet your EDI requirements. This process greatly improves the accuracy of the data being exchanged electronically. Suppliers will have access to our Hub Services team to answer any technical questions related to your EDI implementation guides and overall EDI program.  

WEB EDI

A low-cost, cloud-based EDI subscription service which can quickly enable smaller suppliers to start sending EDI. All your specific EDI requirements are validated to ensure accuracy and to maximize the quality of the documents being traded.

REPORTING

We provide real-time visibility of onboarding status and communication with suppliers throughout the outreach program.
