A common question Viaduct receives from companies that have won a procurement, gained a new customer, or received new requirements from a supplier with whom it is important to establish a good relationship is:
“How quickly can we get started with EDI?”
How urgent is it?
Cloud-based EDI is a quick way to get started with electronic business communication. The party requesting EDI communication is well-prepared, i.e., they have established routines and know their standards and communication methods. Then the setup can be quickly established at Viaduct, and you can start receiving orders, sending order responses, notifications, and invoices. We can also customize the solution and workflows according to specific requests and needs.
At a later stage, a decision can be made on whether the solution should be integrated with your business system to reduce the need for an additional system and automate processes. Some questions to evaluate before deciding on integration are:
- How large will the customer become in the long term and how many orders are communicated per month?
- Are there more parties in your customer register with whom you can/should communicate via EDI?
- Is integration with the business system possible, and are modules, upgrades, and add-ons required?
- What does it take in consulting time?
- When does integration become necessary and when does it become profitable?
