EDI

EDI gets you to the forefront of the electronic information age. Today, more and more of your customers are demanding the electronic exchange of information. In fact, many are limiting their supplier lists to those that can handle EDI. They want to be able to send orders and change orders as their fluctuating production schedules demand, and they need their suppliers to be able to return advance shipping notices and invoices.

With EDI, you’ll expand the market for your products and eliminate a great deal of paperwork. As an integral part of the overall Vantage system, EDI enhances your company’s productivity and professionalism. Modular in design, Vantage EDI may be installed at any point in your software implementation plan.
