Our Community Ramping Experience and Success

In November of 1999 we were asked by a large, national grocery chain to educate many of their non-EDI compliant suppliers about EDI and the grocer's goal of doing business electronically with more of their suppliers. We also offered our Web-EDI services as a pre-tested and certified solution.

The results:

• 102 suppliers activated within 3 months
• 608 suppliers activated within 12 months
• Over 1,300 total trading partner connections established by the end of 2000

We have provided this service to companies in multiple industries. The common denominator is SUCCESS!

Please call us at (800) 443-3428 or e-mail solutions@edictsystems.com for more information on how we can help you and your trading partners maximize the value of EDI.
