EDI Possibilities
To ensure fast and efficient communication, Unifeeder has direct EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) connections with most customers, ports, terminals and authorities throughout the region.
This gives a constant flow of information about the many container movements. Through EDI connections, Unifeeder handles more than 10,000 transactions every day, each one of which makes work easy and secure for both business partners and Unifeeder.
The benefits of integrating EDI are significant:
- Elimination of re-keying and data duplication
- Reduction of errors
- Reduced data interchange cycle time
- Improved customer service and response time
- Reduced business transaction costs
- Improved productivity, possibility of staff re-assignments
- Improved access to real time financial data
Furthermore, a direct connection between systems eliminates the risk of human errors, and as a significant electronic commerce technology, EDI is changing the way business is done and defining successful customer-vendor relationships.
The major part of our bookings are received via EDI and imported directly into the Unifeeder booking system. Likewise, the largest part of messages between Unifeeder and our key suppliers takes place via EDI.
