When
it comes to a practical and scalable solution for the small and mid-size
company to scale, many systems boast a great pre-sales to post -sale integration
and management of online inventory management features, such as Products, Price Books, Vendors, Sales Quotes,
Orders, and Invoices with the Sales related modules such as
Leads, Accounts & Contacts, and Opportunities. But where almost all of the CRM packages fall
short is how they can be automated and integrated with the data that your big
customers will be sending you, and asking you to send to them, in a variety of
formats.
In
1996, Sterling Commerce was charging $.35/KC (kilo-character) plus other
premium fees like interconnects. Their
annual report boasted a 25% profit margin.
Oh the good old days when the
best customers paid $30K for software, $10K to implement with the first
partner, and happily paid 18% maintenance each year and forget they ever had an
EDI system.
It's
here! The long awaited and requested
no-fee EDI testing platform has arrived.
Since the last announcement in mid-January, the system has been in
testing with a major retailer and some well-known CPG brands. The feedback has further motivated the
development staff understanding the unique value to users and the superior functionality
above other EDI testing platforms on the market today.
