Speed up your sales order processing in the Consumer Goods industry with EDI

Do you ever sit at work, frustrated that you’re left printing out orders or annoyed that you can’t find the right folder in the filing cabinet for your processed invoices?

Guess what? That’s nothing compared to how your customers are going to be feeling! Without EDI, you may as well send them a message in a bottle and hope they receive the correct information.

OK, that was a dramatisation, but it’s a fact that manufacturers and distributors need to be capable of processing online orders and EDI messages to maintain their preferred supplier status. Otherwise, you’re at risk of not being the go-to trend during the next season.

Eliminating paper from your operations to improve reliability

Still willing to take a chance on paper because it’s what you’ve always known? Not only are you relying on fantastic calligraphy and file management, you’re significantly slowing your sales order processing down. Any customer who places an order over the phone will be playing a waiting game.

In today’s instant access world, it’s only a matter of time before your customer goes to a competitor who can capture the enquiry and quickly respond. Our solution, Dynamics Consumer Goods supports fast order entry with additional capability for price matching, substitutions, fast re-ordering, promotions, fast search, easy-up selling, as well as flexible cut-off times linked to delivery methods.

On top of this, we will cut out the third-party EDI agent, as we take control of the hassle. Our fully integrated EDI solution has a portal that allows you to see the success of messages in and out, along with service updates and we even take care of the mapping exercise with your trading partners.
