Consulting and Training Services
THE COMPANY: A small manufacturing company, supplying products to the automotive and aerospace industries.
THE PROBLEM: The company was using EDI, but they felt that EDI was using them. They were receiving X12 purchase orders from a few large customers and printing them out to be re-keyed into their application systems. But they didn’t really understand the "big picture" of how EDI worked. Worse, they felt that they weren’t getting any direct benefits from EDI. They looked at it as a cost of business forced upon them by their customers.
THE SOLUTION: The company’s data processing director hired The EDI Source to provide a basic EDI training class for some key personnel, plus some follow-up consulting services. For a minimal investment, they began to understand some of the long-term benefits of EDI, and how to integrate X12 data into their internal systems. |
