Exact Software Introduces New EDI Solution for Supply Chains
Exact EDI Provides Customers Seamless Pathway to Share Information, Conduct Transactions
Chicago, Illinois - NMW 2005 (Booth # 4816) - (March 7, 2005) - Exact Software(TM), a leading provider of solutions that connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization, today announced the availability of a new electronic data interchange (EDI) solution that provides a critical new level of functionality for customers conducting transactions through a supply chain.
The Exact EDI solution is an all-in-one solution that provides greater compatibility with emerging EDI standards and trends than ever before. New functionality includes an available Supply Chain EDI solution that enables Exact Software users to transact EDI with suppliers as well as customers.
"To succeed in today's competitive marketplace, manufacturers and their trading partners can't settle for anything less than a seamless EDI pathway to help them move orders and product through the pipeline," said Christopher Lenzo, director of products and operations for Exact Macola. "Exact realizes how important an efficient EDI solution is to our customers, and we are committed to setting the standard for EDI compliance in the ERP marketplace."
Electronic data interchange is a standards-based format for exchanging business data. EDI networks are based on giving trading partners the ability to feed standardized, formatted data into separate systems on each end of the line.
Exact EDI was created through a partnership with Data Masons Software, LLC, a firm specializing in advanced EDI solutions since 1992. Existing Exact Macola EDI users with current maintenance agreements can receive equivalent product at no charge as part of their annual software maintenance subscription.
"This announcement is great news for Exact Software customers," said Glenn McPeak, director of Data Masons Software. "Our partnership will deliver an advanced EDI solution that offers a rare combination of performance, value, and one-stop support for Exact EDI customers. In today's increasingly demanding EDI environment, Exact's ability to deliver an end-to-end EDI solution will be a welcome competitive advantage for Exact EDI customers."
Exact EDI includes an EDI translator, modular trading partner kits and one-click integration with the company's Macola Progression and Macola ES mid-market ERP solutions. New trading partners can be set up in minutes simply by downloading a trading partner kit from the Web.
With Exact's Supply Chain EDI solution, manual input of daily business transactions conducted with trading partners such as invoices, receivers and accounts payable invoices is virtually eliminated. Additionally, several new EDI sub-modules have also been added as available options, including the Exact Business Network, Public Warehouse EDI, an 852 Product Activity Reporting System, and a 753/754 Routing Request System.
