Improves data accuracy

By reducing data entry and using EDI standards, EDI Partnering can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of data exchanged between you and trading partners. Eliminate retyping and waiting for faxes. Data can be sent or received real-time without re-entering or human errors.

Provides real-time access to critical business information

Reducing manual intervention and linking your partners through EDI with real time processing can help you receive and process data in mere minutes instead of waiting for faxes or mail to get the details.  Once the data is received through EDI it appears in your EDIPartnering.com environment and in your reports.

Data Warehousing

EDI Partnering has the ability to store and retransmit data for an extended period of time. If there is ever a question of what was sent, when it was sent, or if it could be resent, you can determine this information quickly and easily. It is your data and you control it. All the attributes about the data are kept and available when you want them. Archiving is just part of the service and is configurable to your special needs.

Reporting capability

The reporting features of EDI Partnering give users the capability to run reports based on current or historical EDI data. With the advanced reporting option, you can even design and implement your own reports. There are "dashboard" options to provide you or management with an instant view of everything in easily understandable terms such as "Age of Inventory by Location".
