Why Use ASC's EDI Automation?
Quite simply, we take the pain out of EDI with EDI modules that are fully embedded and fully automated within the ASCTrac ® WMS or manufacturing system. By using ASC's EDI modules, combined with our extensive experience in supply chain EDI transactions for global companies, you can easily configure, maintain, and automate all of your entire supply chain EDI sets with all of your trading partners (or external accounting systems.) More importantly, our EDI modules are available in several flexible versions for the best value for you, best deployment method for you, and some with hundreds of trading partner supply chain templates already built for you:
- Full Supply Chain EDI Transaction Portal - Fully compliant ANSI ASC X12 version of automated Supply Chain EDI embedded transactions that will allow data exchanges with all of your trading partners or SAP/Oracle/ERP systems. There are more than seventeen (17) main EDI transaction sets included and hundreds of pre-built customer and trading partner templates and labels that are available to choose from for complete supply chain operations. (940, 943, 856, 850/860, 861, 945, 944, 856 In/Out, 855, 810, 947, 846, 852, 997, 888, 214). (Requires an EDI communications server.)
- Basic ASN 856 Inbound/Outbound Portal - Similar to #1 above, but this option is only for ASN (Advance Shipping Notice, 856) transactions. The ASC EDI 856 Inbound/Outbound Module is an optional realtime portal for ASN connectivity to quickly allow publishing secure trading partner information with any external EDI system. This portal is very configurable and fully can be deployed as an SQL or XML strategy. Great for small companies or 3PL's where the only need is for 856 ASN inbound and outbound.(May require an EDI communications server depending upon deployment method.)
- EDI Communications Server - You may already have an EDI communications server partner or we can recommend one for you. Some examples are: BSI, Edict, Data Masons, Red Tail, SPS Commerce, True Commerce, Sterling, etc.
Important Note: These modules are not just data exchange - they are fully integrated, engineered workflow processes that are designed to be highly configurable for every one of your trading partners. Completely seamless by design, the work force just picks as directed and they do not have to remember any "routing guide" policies for different trading partners, it is directed workflow. These modules include ASC's 3PL "customer rules" to allow for seamless fee processing.
Deployment: These modules can also be deployed in multiple ways: enterprise based, or single site based, or even cloud based, or mixed combinations to meet your needs.
New Drug Track and Trace: We have added new transaction sets to support the US federal law for "Drug Quality and Security Act" ("DQSA", effective 1-1-2015). This is for drug distributors, 3PL's, and manufacturers in the drug supply chain. Specifically, this module supports ePedigree or track and trace rules. This requires a very specific type of EDI for your trading partners, please contact us for more information.
