Cost Effective and Easy to Implement

EDI or Electronic Data Exchange is the process of sending and receiving electronic business documents between companies.   EDI is commonly used instead of faxing and mailing paper documents. It improves the efficiency of communicating documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices and Advance Ship Notices.  

EDI Benefits

Paper business documents can take hours to days from the time the buyer prepares an order to when the supplier ships it. EDI orders are immediate.

EDI is much less expensive than transmitting paper documents. A paper-based order can cost as much as $70 while processing an EDI purchase order costs less than a dollar. Much less labor time is required and fewer errors are made because computer systems process the documents rather than processing by hand.

EDI Requirements

Each trading partner has their own EDI requirements. The requirements will include the kinds of EDI documents to be processed, for example an 850 purchase order, 856 advance ship notices or 810 invoices.

Just about any business document that one company would exchange with another company can be sent via EDI. However each EDI document must be exchanged with the partner in exactly the format they specify

Amtech streamlined a very cost effective process in order to interface Imaginera documents with your customers and vendors. Once the standard format has been developed and implemented, the benefits of EDI are reflected in:

• Faster delivery turnaround times

• Going green - replacement of paper with electronic trading documents

• Reduction in errors and repetitive tasks

  • Savings in staff time and cost
