Situation: They were previously using old DOS
based accounting software. They had a translator but no bridge.
Thereby meaning that someone had to read the translated document
and manually input the information into accounting. This was a
slow and tedious process. Green Valley Growers was signed on
with Lowe's and was talking to Kmart. Using this current method,
it would be impossible to keep up with the demand from both
stores.
Solution: The first step was to upgrade the
accounting software, this was done by Ken Koenig of Koenig
Software Systems. After the installation of EDI LINK, Green
Valley Growers was able to receive 852's (Product Activity
Data), 861's (Receiving Advice/Acceptance Certificate), and
820's (Payment/Remittance Advice) from Kmart. They also expanded
heavily on 850's (Purchase Orders), 810's (Invoices), and 820's
(Payment/Remittance Advice) with Lowe's.
"EDI
LINK is quick, easy to use, and the reports are wonderful."
