Web Based EDI Alternative to Traditional EDI VANs


Houston, TX -- 2/20/2008 -- CovalentWorks continues to rapidly add clients who use their web based EDI service instead of choosing a traditional EDI VAN. Clients who have never used EDI before subscribe to CovalentWork's EDI solution because it is so much easier to use than buying their own software and signing up for complicated and expensive service from an EDI VAN. And users who have been with another EDI vendor for years are switching to CovalentWorks to reduce their expenses and have a more responsive EDI service.

Supply chain vendors are interested in EDI compliance because it is required by most US big-box retailers as a condition for doing business. Web-based EDI service enables small and mid-sized suppliers to easily exchange EDI documents with their retail customers.

CovalentWorks provides an EDI solution to its clients with easy-to-use web forms that are viewed via the web and email. No EDI software installation is needed. Suppliers are able to receive and send EDI transactions without having to re-key information. Advance Ship Notices and Invoices are created from Purchase Orders. Bar Code label numbers for shipment cartons are supported as well.

CovalentWorks takes care of the timely delivery of transactions in 100% EDI compliance with each customer's unique requirements. Vendors can exchange EDI compliant transactions with big box discount stores such as Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's club; department stores such as Macy's, Dillards, Kohls, Parisian, Sears, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Target; and specialty retailers like Academy, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Office Depot, and Toys R Us.

"CovalentWorks manages all of the headaches associated with an EDI solution and EDI VAN, making it easy for suppliers to be in compliance with each retail customer's mandates," said Steve Brewer, President of CovalentWorks. "Clients have more time to focus on growing their business because they do not have to install any software, buy hardware or hire EDI experts."
