See other CommerceMail Solutions Ease the stress created from EDI mandates... Many companies have looked to electronic data interchange (EDI) technology and services to lower the transaction costs and inaccuracies of fax and paper-based order processing. Unfortunately, EDI adoption by mid-size and small suppliers often remains limited. The high cost, complexity, and need to continuously provide skilled staff for operation and maintenance of EDI systems makes it difficult for your suppliers to comply. Levying mandates and issuing financial penalties for non-compliance does little to improve adoption rates and often alienates your suppliers. But with CommerceMailTM from ADX EDI mandates become unnecessary. You simply ask your suppliers to accept purchase orders using their existing e-mail service.
Any return documentation that you require from your supplier, like PO acknowledgments or invoices, are already created and pre-populated with data from the original PO. The supplier simply prints a copy of the PO for their records and submits the return documents with a click of a “Submit” button embedded in the CommerceMail. If the supplier needs to make a change in the return documents they do so in the CommerceMail smart form. All your data formatting and business rules are encoded in CommerceMail so errors are discovered and corrected before the response documents are returned to your order management system. If a supplier can use e-mail then they can use CommerceMail to comply with your electronic commerce program requirements. EDI mandates become a thing of the past. |
