Allowing Small Businesses To Scale
The Problem
- A new EDI client was aggressively expanding their ice cream product into several large grocery chain leaders.
- In doing so, this client was required to implement Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in order to do business with these customers.
The Solution
- Integration, Inc. began working with the client and each of these major retailers to implement Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
- The transactions initially supported were purchase orders, invoices and shipment notices.
Results
Once this client became EDI compliant with these major chains, their sales began to soar. As the popularity for their product began to expand, other grocery chains wanted to begin to carry their product. Currently,
- Integration, Inc. has helped this client become EDI compliant with over 30 major customers and many other smaller customers.
- Because of the EDI Outsourcing Services provided by Integration, Inc., this client did not need to worry about EDI. Integration, Inc. handled everything.
- In addition to supporting all their EDI requirements Integration, Inc. also helped them integrate the EDI data with their internal application, thus gaining the most benefit of EDI.
- Since they didn’t need to worry about EDI, they were able to focus on their core business of manufacturing and delivering a quality ice cream product to stores across the US.
Together, this relationship has developed into an industry best practices example of how best to implement EDI in a very competitive environment.
