SMART ADMINISTRATION
EDI AND DIGITAL BUSINESS COMMUNICATION

It primarily depends on how automated you want to work. Viaduct provides an easy-to-use web interface, which is very useful if you lack or have a business system that cannot handle the various business documents. The advantage of an integration with ERP is that the EDI files then automatically end up in your business system with minimal manual intervention and administrative burden.

Then EDI is something you should look into further. The concept helps companies digitize all types of business flows and minimizes the need for emails, PDFs, and printouts. Contact us to find out if we can support your specific needs.

EDI can handle a variety of business documents, including but not limited to:

• Orders (order and order responses)
• Delivery schedules (a type of forecast)
• Delivery notifications (when the goods are shipped)
• Bills of lading and goods labeling.
• Price catalogs (including products and prices)
• Invoices (to make or receive payments)

A VAN (Value-Added Network) is a service that acts as an intermediary to facilitate the exchange of EDI documents between companies. VAN providers offer secure communication, storage, and forwarding of EDI messages.

Yes, EDI is secure if implemented correctly. It typically includes security measures such as encryption, secure communication protocols, and authentication to protect sensitive business documents. By outsourcing the operation of an EDI solution, the user does not have to deal with the administration.
