OpenEDI is used by large orgainsations such as Argos,
Microsoft, PLAY.com,
Tetley and 100's of other companies
for complete EDI order-to-invoice cycle for 1000's of suppliers and buyers. With
OpenEDI there is nothing stopping organisations rolling out EDI to all large,
small & medium trading partners for total supply chain EDI enablement. Contact
us for details.
OpenEDI provides total supply chain EDI enablement
with no system changes required. Previously retailers had the complex problem
of dealing with suppliers and buyers by handling orders and invoices etc by phone,
fax, email, post and EDI. Now with OpenEDI any retailer need only deal with
one method of communication in order to reach their whole supply chain by EDI.
Large organisations/hubs deploying EDI find it a challenge to onboard the bulk of smaller & mid-size trading partners. Whilst large organisations trade electronically, constraining factors have proven prohibitive to reusing the same approach with smaller partners. High costs, the need for IT support, lack of infrastructure and modest trading volumes are typically mentioned by smaller partners as the main obstacles to using EDI.
Transalis developed OpenEDI to solve
this problem. Transalis offers a complete rollout package in terms of planning,
implementation & latest technology using an affordable, subscription-based
pricing model that suits small & medium partners. OpenEDI enables small
& medium partners to be onboarded in a matter of days with minimal infrastructure
requirements on their part, whilst for large organisations, the attraction is
in reusing current EDI infrastructure in the same way as for existing, larger
partners - no technical effort or major investment is required. From the moment
a smaller partner uses OpenEDI, the large organisation simply sends orders
and receives invoices with this partner as if it were one of their existing larger
EDI partners.
