What are the advantages of electronic data interchange (EDI) with VARIO’s ERP system?
EDI, or Electronic Data Interchange, is the electronic data interchange method to easily transfer prices, price catalogs, inventory data, invoice data and more. But how can you use EDI as an online retailer? What are the advantages of EDI? And does VARIO’s eCommerce ERP system offer the possibility to use EDI? All information about it in the video.
What is EDI?
In the ERP environment, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) has become synonymous with the electronic exchange of documents and data, as well as other electronically transferable data and business transactions. EDI stands for the transmission of master data, such as price lists and inventory data, and for the transmission of documents (e.g. invoices, quotations, etc.) for mapping business transactions. EDI’s main goal is to achieve a high level of automation of your processes through integrated business processes. Especially to communicate with large companies, the data exchange format is used. So in order to transmit electronic data, you also need someone who can receive that data. As an online retailer, you can definitely make EDI work for you as long as you also have a system that can handle it easily.
Handling EDI with VARIO
The VARIO ERP system, for example, can easily handle EDI. All you have to do is book an additional module. The enterprise resource planning system from VARIO Software AG is a leading ERP system for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is modular and offers you functions for all processes such as purchasing and warehouse management. It even has its own CRM. And thanks to VARIO, you can centrally control, manage and optimize all these business processes. If you supply large companies, e.g. in the B2B sector, they expect certain protocols that you can only get with EDI. And with VARIO, that is exactly what is possible.
A connection between 2 systems
So if you want to work with large corporations, you have to be able to offer certain standards in data exchange. For example, the company orders from you via EDI and you have to send the tracking ID and additional information back via EDI as well. Certain procedures such as DESADV (delivery notification) as order confirmation or delivery notification are also possible. The entire protocol that you as an online merchant already know from the normal document system – only digitally. You could also say that it is a connection between your system and the system of your supplier or your customer.
VARIO works together with ecosio
In fact, EDI is about the process automation already mentioned. Instead of having to manually enter processes such as invoices or purchase orders into your system, create a PDF, send it to your supplier, who in turn also has to continue manually, thanks to EDI all the information is available directly in the system. This compliant approach to data exchange will save costs and also time, especially in the long term. For a perfect implementation VARIO cooperates with the EDI full-service provider ecosio. The interface provides managed EDI services in the cloud and takes care of all distribution to your partner companies. This way you can always give out all your data in the same format.
