THREE WAYS THE ARMOR CONNECT ENGINE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY ON EDI.
By T. Brandon Barker, Founder and CEO
Companies around the globe in a wide variety of industries utilize Electronic Data Transmission (EDI) to communicate with one another faster, more securely and with greater reliability. An EDI system that is integrated with your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can help improve business processes and streamline communication within your supply chain. By transacting with your business partners and vendors in the format they prefer, you can also develop more productive and profitable relationships.
For many companies, EDI is simply a must. It helps them transmit and receive invoices, purchase orders, inventory lists, business forms and many other types of mission-critical data.
#1. Reduced monthly transmission costs.
You may not be aware of it, but you are probably spending too much on EDI transactions. You may be perfectly happy with your current levels of service and security, but do you really want to leave money on the table? In today’s business environment, many organizations are searching for easy ways to lower bottom-line expenses, and EDI is one of the first places you should look.
If you have ever tried to obtain an estimate for EDI services, you know that the process can be time-consuming and frustrating. With ACE, we are giving businesses like yours a new level of price transparency. You can get an immediate cost estimate simply by typing a few numbers into our online calculator. You can choose to base your overall costs on the number of transactions or the number of connections required, depending on what works best and is most efficient for you.
#2. A fixed, low price for custom mapping.
Once you select an EDI provider, you need to customize the chosen system to your own ERP system, creating a seamless, end-to-end solution. However, some EDI companies do not offer custom mapping services, leaving you to your own devices when it comes to connecting the system to your business partners.
