02 Two types of EDI implementation - Web or Integration

We provide a custom-fit, cloud EDI platform for all businesses, regardless of their size or technological maturity:

Comarch WEB-EDI – an intuitive web-based application that enables fast and reliable data exchange with even the smallest business partners. Its features include instant access to the digital version of a document, logistic labels generation with SSCC codes, PO flip, rapid reference documents generation, document status preview, conversion to many different formats, and more.

Comarch INTEGRATION – automatic digital communication ensuring facilitated integration with your company’s internal systems (e.g. ERP, WMS) via various communication protocols (e.g. AS2, FTP/VPN, SFTP, WebService and OFTP).

03 EDI Managed Services - Validation, Mapping, Routing, Data Enrichment

Comarch EDI defines dedicated validation rules in order to reduce the number of incorrect e-documents. In other words, it automatically verifies if your business partners' data matches yours at all times. Only when it is approved will it be uploaded into your system.

What is more, it was designed to be able to translate a given document to a format preferred by your business partner and vice versa. Incorporating advanced any-to-any format mapping, Comarch EDI supports multiple file formats (XML, EDIFACT, IDOC, TRADACOM, ODETTE, VDA) and provides help in the process of creating document specifications. And thanks to the routing functionality, the platform allows you to send dozens of documents to multiple entities simultaneously.

Plus, if it is impossible for your trading partner to provide all information necessary for full document integration, the Data Enrichment feature will automatically fill in the blanks or transpose the data included in a given file.

04 Optimization of the supply chain management

Comarch EDI guarantees full optimization of data exchange with logistics and transport companies. As a result, you can cooperate with multiple operators at once - no additional integrations required.

What is more, the platform enables simple and effective integration of commercial documents with logistics materials. This kind of approach, combined with blockchain technology, significantly improves the overall traceability of both goods and services. Our cloud-based B2B platform ensures:

Integration with LSP warehouse services and customers' internal ERP systems
Support for numerous logistic messages (i.e. transportation instructions)
Any-to-any message translation - compliant with the LSP requirements
Intuitive generation of logistic labels with SSCC codes
Instant access to the status of all logistics operations
Web forms & notifications

05 Data sharing: Tracking and Reporting

Using Comarch EDI, you will be given instant access to a real-time monitoring portal. This way, you will be able to check the performance of your EDI solution. The platform is also equipped with a tracking feature - an ergonomically designed web application that provides a full preview of the current status of processed documents (document flows, partners configurations, SLAs, errors notifications) and helps you quickly respond to invalid/lost document incidents.

Comarch EDI is also capable of generating ready-to-use reports based on the data exchanged in the EDI Network, for example, a comparison of the number of ordered products with the number of those appearing on an invoice or EAN codes. Subscription reports can be sent via e-mail in any format.

Frequently Asked Questions about EDI Software

1. Is there any document volume limit as far as an EDI project is concerned?
No. Comarch EDI is responsible for processing around 140 million documents per year and there is no problem with transferring larger volumes of documents. Each company should carry out ROI analysis in order to determine how the implementation of an EDI project may affect the company's operations and its business results. It is worth noting that analysis should be prepared individually as each company has its own unique business environment and knows its operation costs best.
2. Should I discuss anything with my business partner before starting an EDI project?
Yes. Firstly, your partner should agree on receiving/sending the e-documents and confirm the date for when such communication is going to be launched. Additionally, the scope of the project should be discussed i.e. message types, messages contents, communication protocol or chosen EDI providers, contact person responsible for the project.
3. My business partners do not have an ERP system. Is it possible to launch an EDI project with them?

4. Would it be difficult to implement the EDI technology in my company?
EDI can be implemented in a relatively short period of time, depending on the chosen type of an EDI solution and the scope of a given project. If it is going to be a Web-based solution, then the user from your company has to log into the Web application and fill in the necessary online forms before sending the agreed documents.
