Under Pressure - Is it time for EDI integration

Faced with growing pressure to provide more information and comply with new EDI requirements, manufacturers are often faced with the time-consuming task of remapping their connections or reconfiguring their ERP for each new retailer and mandate. Because some retailers use data exchange errors as a profit center, there is a greater risk that manual entry mistakes will result in hefty chargebacks, degrading already thin profit margins.

Manufacturers that aren’t experiencing growth and only have a small number of retail customers can often successfully operate with minimal standard compliance. However, manufacturers that anticipate growth quickly run into scalability challenges when adding new retail customers and customer requirements.

Winner of the 2019 Pros to Know Award, Chuck Adams will be sharing his decades of experience, outlining the entire process of integrating EDI into your ERP. He will share surprising aspects of integration that many suppliers fail to consider, as well as best practices and potential red flags. Following the webinar, Chuck will participate in an extended Q&A session to answer all of your integration questions!
