"Obviously we have a large number of orders. The EDI automation means that now it's all in the system and can be picked and packed so much faster. Someone who might have spent a large chunk of their time on data entry can now focus on what they're meant to be doing, like the sales side of their job"

FAQs

Suppliers and wholesalers are often trading with multiple retail customers. By using EDI and integration, they can automate previously manual processes and streamline order fulfilment processes by centralising administration through a single inventory management or ERP system. This helps to reduce costs, save time and comply with their retailer’s EDI requirements.

Once your systems are integrated, most of your order fulfilment processes can be automated to reduce the amount of time manually processing. These processes include automating many of the most common business documents via EDI, such as purchase orders (850), invoices (810), purchase order acknowledgement (855), purchase order change requests (860), advanced shipping notices (856), order tracking and more.

Crossfire is a fully managed service whereby we take care of the end-to-end integration process. Our team works with you to set up your integration or platform – from gathering requirements and building your integration to testing with you and your trading partners and planning your go-live and monitoring once the integration is live.

Although your responsibilities in setting up and managing integrations are limited, there is still some involvement from your end, and this is a good thing. It works best when you’re involved in the requirements analysis process to ensure you get the most out of your integration. You’ll also be involved in the testing process and Crossfire will guide you through this. The purpose of your involvement in this process is to help you become familiar with how the fulfilment process works with EDI.
