Many
companies are always looking for software solutions that could untangle their
complicated worldwide network of connections. Steve Rees, an industry expert,
has a very straightforward idea for these companies. The companies should
change how they exchange information. This can be aided by an electronic
document interchange (EDI) solution. Rees further stated that managed E Invoicing has intertwined benefits of intelligence and visibility. The
technology is able to link well with various business systems.
Benefits of
EDI
- According to Steve Rees, EDI enables all the links on the supply chain to have a superior visibility.
- Rees also stated that conducting B2B integration via a secure EDI solution is able to inspire confidence in trading partners. This is attributed to the fact that a lot of information can be conveyed. When there is inaccessible information, companies can harbor a lot of doubt, especially during a rough economic climate. All relevant information should be accessed with ease.
- If used properly, EDI solutions can provide impartiality during transactions between manufactures, suppliers and distributors. Information that is exchanged via EDI can be entered automatically into the systems either as the manufacturing orders that or as the shipments that leave the warehouse. This ensures there is nothing that is being concealed. All the parts of the supply chain operate based on precise and up-to-date moment data. This ensures the process goes well.
Problems
Facing the Supply Chain
According
to Rees, Electronic Document Exchange solution is very important because
of the numerous problems that crops up between partners in the global supply
chain agreements. This is particularly seen in situations whereby there is low
visibility.
The
goal of many companies is to keep inventory low and meet the demand without
exceeding it. However, this goal is very hard to be accomplished especially if
the firms buy goods for long shipments instead of buying them in bulk which is
economical. In such a case, transparent and correct reporting on the condition
of inventory and shipments worldwide become very critical. For you to get the
goods where they are needed on time, you need to know their location and
status.
