How cloud EDI works
If you’re spending hours shuffling through shipments and reports or chasing up data, then you’re wasting precious time. Cloud EDI can manage and monitor your paperwork for you.
How? EDI software automatically interchanges data between systems and applications. It pulls relevant data from incoming files and inserts it into the correct fields on other systems. Not only does this totally transform workflow for your business, but it also minimises costly data entry errors.
Benefits of EDI Cloud
- Maximise efficiency
EDI eliminates doubling up on data entry. Customers create their own shipments by logging in online, uploading their files and invoices to the cloud or connecting their software to your system via an EDI transfer. Information is interchanged without the need for manual processing.
- Reduce errors
Strict standardisation ensures information is correctly formatted before it undergoes further processing, ultimately improving the quality and accuracy of all data.
- Keep drivers informed
With Consignmate, you can send real-time notifications to drivers on the road via the mobile app. They’ll always be up to speed with consignment notes and other updates.
Why EDI cloud is better
Cloud-based solutions for EDI are increasingly common. Businesses are realising the power in utilising solutions that aren’t attached to hardware and are able to automate certain processes — helping streamline their own internal procedures and saving both time and money as a result. But what could the benefits be for your business? Here’s some of the key drivers for switching to cloud EDI:
- Security — Advanced encryption and monitoring ensure EDI systems are secure. Plus, with your priceless data stored on the cloud, it’s always protected from hardware and software breakdowns. Your business won’t grind to a halt in emergency situations.
- Flexibility and scalability — With three levels of implementation, you’re able to scale a cloud-based EDI solution to your organisation as it grows or downscales. You’ll always have the right scale of service for your scale of business.
- Affordability — With cloud EDI, you won’t have expensive software, hardware or upgrade bills.
- Wide data support — EDI cloud will support any structured data standards and formats.
- Integration – Cloud solutions integrate more effectively with other business systems and apps.
- Onboarding – Because B2B cloud EDI integrations are easier, the onboarding process of new partners or users is quicker and simpler, too.
- Availability – The cloud has almost zero downtime.
