Your Custom entrée.EDI Solution Awaits

The entrée.EDI module represents our custom development services to support Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between you and your vendors and customers.

 

EDI is a document standard which acts as a common interface between your entrée software and your vendors and customers in-house computer systems.

 

It is used for e-commerce purposes such as a customer sending an order to your warehouse, you submitting an invoice for payment or submitting a purchase order to your vendor. It eliminates the need for paper documents and internal manual processes which provides the advantages of fewer errors, lower administrative costs and faster order-to-cash cycles.

 

You will find that the Export modifications are structured very similar to each other as well as the Import modifications.

 

When your company has a need for an EDI type document for communication between your entrée software and your vendor or customer you begin the process by first contacting the NECS Sales Team at 800.766.6327 (NECS) or sales@necs.com.

 

The NECS Sales department representative will begin creating a proposal for your custom entrée.EDI project.

 

NECS will request that you forward to us the data specifications document from the vendor or customer.

 

We will also need their requirements for transmission of the data. Most will use an FTP connection and others may have you use email to send the file.

 

NECS Sales and our technology department will review the requirements and specifications and discuss with you how the data should be mapped within your entrée software.

 

Sales will provide you with a final proposal for the custom EDI project and will finalize the purchase with you.

 

These modifications are not in this catalog.

For more information about these modifications see the entrée.EDI Catalog accessed via the NECS website Support menu Customer login. This resource will make finding existing modifications for data exchange an easy task. We think the newly reorganized content will make it easier for you to find modifications to enhance your entrée system.
