EDI - Electronic Data Interchange
Order easily with an ERP interface
EDI is short for Electronic Data Interchange. The interface is used to transfer business documents – purchase orders, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices – between ERP systems. The electronic standard format makes the issuing of documents by post or e-mail unnecessary. Everything goes electronically directly into your ERP system.
All you need is an EDI-enabled system. EDI ensures that your ERP system and the ERP system at Schüco can communicate with each other at any time. The process is simple. You plan an object in your calculation program. Then you transfer the material requirements calculated into your ERP system and from there you can procure the necessary materials by means of a purchase order from your ERP system. You then receive the order confirmation, the delivery note and the invoice directly in your system and can process everything automatically.
“Since we process our orders via EDI, we save time because we no longer have to enter anything manually. We are faster because the order confirmations end up directly in the ERP system and so we have room for other topics.”

Efficient ordering process
The direct exchange of data between the ERP systems at any time accelerates the ordering process enormously as previously this had to be done manually. EDI enables a fabrication plan based in real time.
Error-free processes
There is no longer any need for manual input in the process – from the purchase order to the invoice. The electronic transfer of data avoids errors and improves data quality, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
Greater transparency
The electronic transfer of delivery notes and order confirmations enables better tracking of purchase orders and deliveries, which improves warehouse management and stock control.
Less work
The processing of order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices in your ERP system quickly results in a high level of accuracy and greater productivity. The automation of processes helps to complete tasks more efficiently.
