EDI module for data management

For a leading building-products manufacturer with global operations, we integrated a custom EDI module with its ERP. The implementation reduced data-generation and processing time by 60 %.

EDI module for data management

Modular EDI platform

The modular design lets the solution scale with operational growth while maintaining data integrity.

Data generation and processing

Thanks to the ERP connection, data is generated automatically, and generating and processing it takes 60 % less time.

Support for order fulfilment

Orders are processed more efficiently, and order data is exchanged with suppliers and customers in real time.

Solution

Manual data entry across the supply chain

The client, a leading global manufacturer of building products, needed to manage data exchange more efficiently across its extensive supplier and customer network.

Manual data entry and document processing caused delays, errors and higher operating costs, and made it harder to respond to customer requests and work effectively with suppliers.

EDI module integrated with ERP

We implemented an EDI module tailored to the client and integrated with its ERP system.

The module automates data generation, streamlines order processing and supports real-time data exchange with suppliers and customers.

The modular platform allows the solution to be extended further as the client’s operations grow.

Result

Before

Data for exchange with suppliers and customers was entered by hand and documents were processed without automation, which led to delays and errors. Responses to customer requests were slowed down, and operating costs across the extensive partner network increased.

After

The EDI module connected to ERP generates data automatically, and orders are processed with reduced manual entry. Data is exchanged with suppliers and customers in real time, and data-generation and processing time has fallen by 60 %.

Project outcomes

  • 60 % shorter data generation and processing
  • Less manual data entry and document processing
  • Real-time data exchange with suppliers and customers

The published project result is a 60 % reduction in data-generation and processing time.

Key takeaway

The tailored EDI module is integrated with the building-products manufacturer’s ERP, automates data generation and streamlines order processing. As a result, data-generation and processing time fell by 60 %.

Frequently asked questions

How was the custom EDI module connected to the client ERP?

We designed the EDI module specifically for the client and integrated it directly with its ERP system. The module therefore generates the data for exchange with suppliers and customers automatically, without the need for manual entry. It is built on a modular EDI platform that focuses on data integrity and allows the solution to scale with operational growth.

Which supplier and customer exchanges does the module streamline?

The module streamlines data exchange across the client’s whole network of suppliers and customers, particularly in order processing and fulfilment. Data is exchanged in real time instead of through manual entry and document processing. This helps the client respond to customer requests more quickly and work more effectively with suppliers.

How did automated data generation affect processing time?

Automated data generation connected to ERP cut data-generation and processing time by 60 %. The saving comes from reducing manual data entry and document processing, as data is created automatically and exchanged with partners in real time. This is the published result of the project for a leading building-products manufacturer with global operations.

Why did the client need to replace manual document processing?

The client has an extensive network of suppliers and customers, and manual data entry and document processing within it caused delays, errors and higher operating costs. They also made it harder to respond to customer requests and work with suppliers. Managing data exchange efficiently was therefore a significant challenge for the client, which the EDI module connected to its ERP now addresses.
