EDI Server

A Valuable Add-on to Naviteer Broker

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a standardized electronic format for exchanging business information between trading partners. Many business documents can be exchanged using EDI, with purchase orders and invoices being the two most common.

Naviteer EDI Server eliminates the need for traditional mail preparation and handling in business communication by standardizing the information communicated in business documents, enabling a “paperless” exchange. A broker using Naviteer EDI Server can accept purchases from a large trading customer and process the order for smaller suppliers without manual entry, resulting in significant improvements in entry speed and accuracy, especially when handling hundreds of transactions.

For example, consider the difference between a traditional purchase order and its EDI counterpart:


Traditional Document Exchange of a Purchase Order

This purchase order entry takes time and is prone to entry errors.

  • Buyer makes a buying decision, creates the purchase order and faxes or emails it to broker.
  • Broker receives the purchase order and manually enters it into the order entry system.
  • Broker sends Sales Memo of purchase order to Supplier.
  • Broker calls supplier to determine if Sales Memo of order has been received in good order

EDI Server Document Exchange of a Purchase Order

This purchase order entry is automatically processed and a sales memo sent to supplier.

  • Buyer makes a buying decision and creates the purchase order.
  • Naviteer EDI system automatically pulls the purchase order from Buyer.
  • Naviteer EDI system automatically creates a sales memo for the supplier.
  • Naviteer Broker order entry system sends new sales memo to Supplier.
