Industry challenges

Reducing costly enterprise integrations

Exchanging business transactions with supply chain trade partners is complex and requires point-to-point EDI or expensive custom integrations. As a result, real-time business transaction exchange is limited to a handful of their top supply chain partners if done at all.

Rekeying important information

Transmitting information between two trade partners typically involves printing to PDF and rekeying information into the recipient’s software system.

Rekeying important information
Ensuring data integrity

Data that is manually keyed contains user errors that result in significant added costs.

Ensuring data integrity
Reaching the long tail

Reliance on top supply chain partners can be reduced with economical solutions that allow for integrations into tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers.

Reaching the long tail
Reducing technical resources

Developers skilled in integrations need to be redeployed from other projects.
