Why EDI?

Throughout time, business decisions have always been initiated by the desire to run a more cost effective business and in the end to succeed. With this in mind EDI becomes a business choice not a technical issue. Whether you desire on-time delivery of products or long for timely compensation of services rendered, EDI is your answer. If you are looking to streamline manpower or more accurately project product and market needs, then EDI is for you. Ace Hardware is committed to our mutal success and subsequently to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for business document exchange. EDI enables us and our Trading Partners to complete business transactions faster with less expense and fewer errors. WHY SHOULD YOU USE EDI… INCREASE TURNS - With timely delivery of goods, you can improve turns and reduce out-of-stock that can cause lost sales. SAVE TIME - Paper structures require the manual processing (data entry) of information over and over as well as transportation time to move documents from one location to another. SAVE MONEY - Paper documents must have manual intervention to key in information, envelope stuffing, mailing, document storage and retrieval/reconciling. These costs are high and ever increasing. REDUCE ERRORS - The more often data is re-keyed and re-processed, the more likely mistakes will be made. Troubleshooting these errors cost more time and money.
