SAP Business One
Electronic Data Interchange

SAP Business One Electronic Data Interchange – When you supply a big retailer, it pays to do things their way. So when they demand – or even just prefer – to integrate directly with your warehousing system in order to streamline their ordering and fulfillment, the only real question is how to enable it affordably.

Of course, an efficient Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution can help you in other ways, too. As your business and your order volumes grow, bridging the gap between all the different business management solutions used by your partners makes your own operation more streamlined. You can achieve substantial cost savings and increased customer satisfaction by streamlining ordering, warehousing, logistics, replenishment, delivery and reporting. And assuming a low cost of ownership, it can also make your operation more profitable.

But a comprehensive EDI solution is no small task. GS1, EAN, ASNs, SSCC labels, scan packing… The requirements soon add up. So just as it pays to have an EDI solution to begin with, it also pays to have that solution designed and implemented by someone with proven experience with big retailers and world-class ERP products, and a track-record for doing it right.

The team at Leverage Technologies has worked on EDI projects for many of Australia’s large, small and medium sized distribution-based organisations, in a range of different industries, including food, chemical, IT, electronics and building materials. So we understand the challenge of different document and data exchange formats, and we know how to overcome it. Likewise, we know how to handle the freight management, back-order rules, 3PL, retailer distribution and reporting issues that necessarily arise in any EDI implementation.

Just as importantly, we use only best-of-breed EDI solutions based on SAP Business One.
