The early and broad adoption of EDI technologies in ANZ in various industries means that a large proportion of customer orders are transmitted via EDI. However, like everywhere else, EDI orders are processed via one set of technologies whilst fax and email orders are processed either manually or via another set of technologies – often enough not in an integrated manner. This means that the customer service team seldom has access to all customer orders from one interface, cannot easily reconcile all customer orders from customers using multiple channels (EDI, fax, email, tel) and in some companies a dedicated team needs to check and correct EDI orders.
A simpler, integrated solution to manage all orders – EDI, fax, email – provides an effective tool to increase productivity and increase customer satisfaction.
