Support your entire supply chain management with EDI
Order Management:
When an automotive manufacturer needs to order parts or components from a supplier, they can use EDI to transmit the purchase order electronically. The supplier can then use EDI to confirm the order and send an advanced shipping notice (ASN) when the parts are shipped.
Inventory Management:
EDI can be used to exchange inventory data between trading partners. For example, a supplier can use EDI to provide a real-time inventory update to an automotive manufacturer, allowing them to better manage their production schedule.
Logistics Management:
EDI can be used to track the movement of goods between trading partners. A logistics provider, or 3PL can use EDI to provide shipment status updates to an automotive manufacturer, helping them to better manage their supply chain.
Advanced Shipping Notices
Communication ahead of delivery
Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs) are crucial to the automotive industry, it’s critical they’re formatted correctly. Businesses that send deliveries without corresponding ASNs or wrongly formatted labels will be fined until the error is corrected, businesses can accumulate extortionate costs if their EDI provider is slow-to-react.
