EDI - Process or Package? Six Questions to Ask an EDI Provider

The beauty of EDI is that it eliminates the faxing and mailing of paper documents between two companies. In a nutshell, it's computer-to-computer exchange of these documents, as in 'automated exchange'.

Many companies are required by their customers to implement EDI before they can  even think about shipping them products. EDI is not just for retailers, it's for many large companies and organizations in as diverse industries as these:

• automotive
• distribution
• energy
• government
• grocery
• publishing
• third party logistics
• trucking

Inventory Control: So Much More Than a Tracking System

Inventory control…requires control. Is it in the tracking of all parts and materials, final products produced, and items stored and ready for shipment? All these things should be tracked BUT that is not the most important part.  Using the information that the system provides you properly is the key to managing your bottom line. 

Inventory Control Problems
Inventory control problems are usually the result of using poor processes, practices and antiquated support systems. This combination will cause unfavorable outcomes such as late shipments, down time, customer service issues and more. 

What Should Be Done?
Up to date inventory management systems use effective and efficient techniques optimizing inventory and maximizing customer service. Ultimately the right system implemented with the right process will decrease inventory, lower costs, and raise customer satisfaction and profits.
