Drawing a Line in the EDI Sand

“If products are coming into my Supply Chain, they are coming in scanned and verified!”

Make no doubt about it, the hay is in the barn and it is time to choose sides. The effect of predictive ASN creation is injuring our Retail Supply Chain. The practice of predicting what will go in a carton; the practice of cloning and data entering, and matching labels to pack slips, is pissing consumers off.  Whether on-line, or brick and mortar, the bottom line effect of supply chain inaccuracies is draining our profit. Now is the time to use the significant physical activities of the supply chain as the basis for all electronic data interchange.

No other EDI solution addresses EDI like Paramount Workflow Suite. Our Single minded intention to eliminate errors in receiving and shipping products by means of barcode scanning, distinguishes Paramount as the only sensible choice for creating ASN data and partner-specific documents and data.  Continuous development for more than 20 years, Sunflare Technologies has continued to enhance and support our most sensible and practical creation, Paramount Workflow Suite.  Quite simply, PWS applies intense scrutiny to workflow events that trigger sub-second conditional services. Customized services allow users to integrate, serialize, label, notify, update, and report to any system capable of receiving machine readable data.  Yes, if the incorrect item is scanned against an order, Paramount can shout “Incorrect Item” in any recordable language… And yes, if you are expecting to receive product “A” and you receive product “B” it can generate an email and return label before it even enters your warehouse… Of course, if you want carton content labels or specific UPC labels printed for a specific customer (to a specific printer) you can do that too. But Paramount’s DNA is founded in the principles and practices of Retail EDI. Careful attention is given to the hierarchical nature of the ASN data structures, and the solution has proven to be effective for the largest and most demanding of retail merchants. So when it comes to providing an end-to-end EDI solution, or just integrating to an existing EDI or ERP solution, Paramount is worth the consideration.

A Primer on Managed File Transfer

 

Recently, the editors of RetailEDI.com commented that, "Everyone should consider MFT for their company." But, few people understand what managed file transfer (MFT) is all about, how it works, and how to get started. Even worse, many retailers don't understand the pitfalls of not using MFT.


Files-In-Motion Affect The Supply Chain And More.
Retail businesses need to safely exchange high-value, high-volume files with customers or trading partners. Consider for a moment the types of files your company juggles: ACH transfers, EDI, XML, check images, PLM, employee data, and many others. The individuals, systems, and processes sending and receiving files are typically spread throughout the enterprise, and need to connect to a variety of destinations outside the organization. How they connect and exchange files is just as important as the "what" or "why”.

 

MFT (Managed File Transfer) and Upcoming Legislation

Many companies are looking at MFT, regardless of whether it is for compliance (SOX, GBLA) or just the benefits of centralized file management.  Is anyone looking at MFT to help prepare for upcoming privacy legislation?
