Automated exchange of electronic documents eliminates manual processes such as printing, mailing, and manual entry of paper documents. This minimizes errors and shortens processing time.

Faster processing times

Automated document exchange allows purchase orders, invoices and other business documents to be processed faster. This results in shortened delivery times and improved customer satisfaction.​

Minimizing errors

Better planning capability

Automated document exchange allows customers to better plan their orders and deliveries by providing real-time information on the status of their orders.​

Better data quality
