A number of benefits make WebDI the right
solution for your business. Here we discuss
just a few.
Reduced cost of
doing business:
With WebDI, you can automate many of your
manual business processes (like re-keying
documents in multiple systems) and eliminate
the costs associated with producing and
handling paper documents. And, WebDI can be
a much more cost-effective solution than
traditional EDI, which imposes VAN charges
and rigid standards on you and your trading
partners.
Low cost of entry:
Because there's no software to install and
implement, your up-front investment is
minimal. Therefore, you'll see a return on
your investment quickly. And, because the
costs to get up and running on WebDI are
low, most of your trading partners should
have no problem using WebDI as well.
Streamlined
business processes:
WebDI isn't just for sending and
receiving traditional transactional
documents. Use it for sales reporting,
inventory tracking, and other informational
exchanges.
Easy
implementation:
Your documents are mapped only once to
WebDI's internal standard. WebDI removes the
need for the "one-to-one" mapping
that's associated with traditional data
exchange services.
Open
connectivity:
You and your trading partners need only
an Internet connection and PC to conduct
business electronically with WebDI. This
makes it one of the most open solutions on
the market.
Marketplace
integration:
WebDI can bridge the gap between
different systems, formats, and protocols,
even if you and your trading partners
conduct business through disparate digital
marketplaces on online exchanges. WebDI is
the foundation for the truly open
marketplace.
