Software Concepts has developed an EDI interface package which is used to interface EDI documents directly into order processing, shipping, A/R and Sales reporting systems. This allows all EDI documents to be seamlessly integrated into our clients’ systems to eliminate unnecessary data entry. We currently use the Inovis TrustedLink iSeries package for all EDI mappings and transmissions through an EDI mailbox. The TrustedLink iSeries visual mapper is installed on our system, allowing all EDI maps to be created and maintained remotely from our office. Our extensive experience with and understanding of EDI standards allows for an easy implementation of all EDI documents (both ASNI and EDIFact) using all available mapping software packages.

 

We work directly with our clients’ trading partners during the complete life cycle of EDI testing and implementation. We pride ourselves on a smooth and quick turnaround of new trading partnerships and EDI documents.
