John Redfern, MD of Inovis in UK & EMEA has been quoted in Computer Weekley.com with his position on Outsourcing EDI
Many organisations use the EDI data format to send business-critical documents, such as purchase orders, delivery notes and shipping notes, between suppliers and retailers.
One SME that has benefited from a Saas-based EDI service is drinks maker Innocent.
Innocent said it has relatively limited IT staffing, but needs to communicate with retailers around the clock. It uses a managed EDI service from Inovis, which has helped to remove the complexity of sending documents back and forth.
Managed EDI also has a flat-rate pricing structure, so costs are predictable and low, said the firm.
John Redfern, managing director EMEA at Inovis, said, “Exchanging data with retailers is a complex business. Inovis addresses this by managing the whole process, from hosted software on a user-friendly platform, to translating data into required formats and integration into back-office EDI systems. This leaves the business free to focus on strategic IT activities.”
