EDI, or electronic data interchange, is a tried and tested end-to-end solution for sharing transaction data. A high-quality EDI provider can help you achieve frictionless paper- free communications and drive transformation in your data transfer and processing.
Instead of raising orders and invoices manually and sending documents by email or post that then have to be keyed in by hand, EDI has automated the whole activity, introduced universal time and cost savings, eliminated the need for paper documents and improved accuracy.
Trading network buy-in
But success with EDI depends on ensuring your trading network buys in. Your trading partners will need to have the same ability as you to receive and send documents.
At Transalis, we will help you reach 100% adoption of your partners through a fully- managed and supported on-boarding process featuring training, guides and user testing.
The experience of transatlantic beauty brand Space NK shows that with the right EDI provider, EDI does not need to be complicated, expensive or take a long time to install.
After a process automation project with Transalis produced immediate costs savings of £60,000, Chris Wakeham, Space NK’s Global IT Director, said:
“You no longer need specialist skills because Transalis can handle all of this for you, removing all the potential headaches involved. They had an ability to understand what we were trying to achieve and an appetite to make integration lighter, cheaper and easier for us. It took only one week to onboard the first partner with Transalis as EDI provider. We brought the rest in very quickly as soon as that was achieved.”
Instant overview
At Transalis has developed a scalable, high-performance EDI SaaS application platform, hosted securely in the cloud and ideal for the continual, automated exchange of trading data.
