Get Ahead of Barriers to EDI Supply Chain Integration
When it comes to 100% EDI supply chain integration, there are two barriers many businesses find themselves struggling to overcome. These are cost and complexity.
Implementing EDI can be costly, especially if you opt for a highly technical solution which requires specialist equipment. Your business may not need that, which is why we’ve developed our EDI web application to help you save money.
As it effectively works as an EDI website, it is simple and straightforward to use. EDI doesn’t have to be complex! With the right systems in place, you’ll find it easy to more effectively manage and integrate your new EDI solution into your supply chain.
Advance Web Trader is designed to overcome the challenges of cost and complexity by providing the trading hub with a tailored secure website to deposit orders for small to medium-sized suppliers.
Suppliers can then use any computer with a web browser to access the website and download the trading documents they need. This could be orders or remittance advice. They can also create other trading documents, such as invoices and shipping notifications for their customers.
Using an EDI website instead of specialist software is going to help cut costs for suppliers. The simplicity of the AWT means that anyone is able to use the technology as required. Generating orders and sending invoices is made easier and requires minimal effort, helping you to focus on the things that matter most in your business.

FAQ's
EDI websites give you the opportunity to implement an effective EDI solution into your business without the complicated technology. There is no need to get specialist equipment, as everything can be completed through your web browser. It is a simple solution to a complex problem, allowing you to increase efficiency.
When it comes to technology in your business, you’ll often focus on the essentials. Setting up a highly complex EDI solution is often not an essential business need. Web-based EDI takes away the requirement for specialist technology and support. With your current computers and web browsers, you can find everything you need in one place.
EDI systems need to communicate in order to work effectively, and so the internet is required. However, with systems such as web EDI solutions, sometimes all you will need is an internet connection.
