EDI ordering

The need to exchange important financial information within the healthcare marketplace such as a purchase orders or invoices is critical to the effectiveness of the product supply chain. Electronic Data Interchange ordering systems (EDI) allow the exchange of business data from one organisation’s computer application to the computer application of a trading partner/customer. The system improves the accuracy of transmitting these files by eliminating the re-keying of data and increasing data quality by agreeing product codes, prices and location codes in advance. EDI systems also help cement customer/supplier partnerships by reducing the supply chain costs associated with manual processing of orders and invoices. There are no barriers to the use of EDI systems. Our technical team at Southern Syringe Services will help integrate a bespoke system to provide the customer with the following benefits:
