Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Software

The Terminology Explained:

EDI software utilises a set of electronic transaction rules and standards that allow different companies to exchange business documents electronically over a secure network (called a Value-Added Network or VAN). EDI is an efficient electronic alternative to using email, phone, or fax to transmit and exchange paper documents and is an important area of larger scale ecommerce operations.

Once a specific process within your business has been identified for automation via EDI we can work with you to provide a structured approach to your data needs with the aim of giving you access to concise information, enabling you to make value-added decisions. Through our EDI solutions we can substantially increase effectiveness and efficiency across all of your operations.

Often there is a requirement to utilise information held in other business systems within the company. Integrating your EDI solution with your back office systems ensures that information requirements are coherent across all facets of the data capture systems (minimising the risk of errors with manual data forms, input errors, poor integrity etc)

Using the latest technology, fully integrated EDI systems are now a cost effective solution. Wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth and WiFi, mobile technologies such as GSM and GPRS can be integrated with field and production based systems to supply data for key corporate systems.

The smooth flow of information between internal applications and trading partners is part of our structured approach to information management. We ensure that all your documents are 'mapped' to allow the information to be transmitted efficiently across the network, feeding vast amounts of data into the business infra-structure allowing you to drive your business forward.

We developed a new order fulfillment web interface for some of Innovate Logistics' customers and more importantly a new EDI to xml messaging processor.

With global customers such as ASDA and Sainsbury's the new integrated system will allow more efficient and dynamic responses to their needs and help to keep Innovate at the forefront of it's business.
