EDI Outsourcing

Clients wishing to reap the benefits of outsourcing EDI management are able to do so with Global eCommerce Technologies outsourcing programs. Simply send files to the Global eCommerce Network and our translation service converts documents into those required by customers and suppliers.

We provide “EDI compliance” services or EDI outsourcing for vendors who are not equipped with EDI processing capabilities. Global eCommerce Technologies offers two specialty outsourcing solutions: application conversion and manual processing.

Application Conversion

Simply stated, we convert EDI data to and from Customized Data Files for use with a spreadsheet, ERP or business applications. Clients interested in EDI outsourcing do not need to have any experience in EDI to comply with a trading partner’s electronic processing requirements!

Manual Processing

The Manual Processing program for EDI outsourcing entails conversion of EDI data received from trading partners into a readable format and then sending it to clients via mail, fax or e-mail. We also translate information clients fax or e-mail us into an EDI format that is returned to trading partners. As with our application conversion outsourcing process, clients do not need to have any experience with EDI to comply with a trading partner’s electronic processing requirements.
