What is EDI?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a generic term for the automatic exchange of electronic business documents, such as orders, invoices, and certain messages or confirmations. It is a part of electronic business. Because the relevant documents must comply with certain standard templates, it is mainly used for repetitive transactions.
Several EDI standards have been developed for different industries. Nowadays, these standards are increasingly being replaced by open standards such as XML and are therefore available as open source. Software to generate and process EDI is generally expensive, and until recently, data communication was controlled by a few large enterprises. With the advent of the internet, EDI has also become accessible to smaller companies, and the software has also improved and become cheaper.

Existing users
Some customers and suppliers of Paul Meijering have decided to also exchange what they buy and sell via EDI, significantly reducing the flow of documents. The Smart Connected Supplier Network (SCSN) - the data standard for efficiently exchanging information in the supply chain - is used in the various operational systems in your and our company. The use of this has important benefits that result in more efficient business operations. Benefits that translate into significant cost savings that, depending on the level of implementation, can amount to 90% in relation to the same process if carried out with paper documents.

SCSN at a glance

24/7 Availability.
Quicker order processing time - Continuous visibility of process status. Orders can be picked up immediately.
Cost reduction - All these factors result in a much more efficient management system and a drastic cost reduction.
Team optimisation - With EDI technology, it is possible to carry out many more commercial operations with fewer human resources. Collaboration between both parties leads to more connection with each other.
Integration of procedures between all parties and business partners - The exchange of electronic documents is agreed upon between sender and receiver; this results in a communication flow with common procedures and work models. It clarifies the commercial relationship and allows for actions to be taken based on known and shared management models.
Improved service to the end user - The implementation of SCSN means applying optimal workflows and response times. For example, the ability to receive a message of receipt prior to delivery allows the customer to plan the necessary resources for unloading or forwarding. It also enables adjustments to production and delivery plans, thereby improving service to the customer.
