Comport As Your EDI Service Provider
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a business-to-business communication standard used to transmit information in a standardized format across trading partners. It’s a key tool for businesses to enhance and automate their supply chain processes, improve procure-to-pay cycles, order fulfillment rates, inventory control, shipment planning and decision-making among others.
Commport is a full-service EDI Service Provider that makes it easier and faster for suppliers to connect with their trading partners. Using a web-based portal, customers can easily integrate with their internal systems for a seamless data flow without having to invest in costly hardware or software. It’s a great solution for small and mid-sized companies looking to build relationships with large retailers or increase their profitability by becoming EDI compliant.
By connecting their ecommerce or ERP system with an edi service provider, companies can reduce manual data entry that can result in costly chargebacks. They can also better optimize their warehouses and distribution centers to make the best use of their resources, which in turn will lead to increased customer satisfaction, lower costs and improved operational efficiency.
In addition, integrating EDI with your internal systems eliminates the need for re-keying of information, saving time and increasing accuracy. It helps automate and streamline transactions, improving productivity, efficiency and enhancing working relationships with partners.
Why Choose Comport As Your EDI Service Provider?
The best EDI service providers offer easy integration with hundreds of trading partners as they have pre-built mappings in place that are compliant with the various ANSI X12 standards as well as the different EDIFACT formats. This allows you to connect with your trading partner within a few days rather than waiting weeks or months. Moreover, it saves you money as you don’t have to pay for VAN services which usually charge monthly fees and transaction fees for each document they process.
For example, a healthcare supplier that sells medical equipment to hospitals needs to be able to send and receive their purchase orders and invoices in a standardized file format called EDI. The hospital needs to be able to accept this file in order for their purchasing department to be able to process the orders and ship them. But each retailer has their own format for this standardized file and that’s where an EDI Service Provider comes in. The EDI Service Provider will map the EDI document for you to their specific format so that your medical equipment can be shipped to each hospital easily.
