WeDid: X12 EDI and Netsuite
Challenges
The customer has many distributors that sell their product to reseller or end user.
When an order is placed, the distributor will send an email with Purchase Order information and this information was being keyed into Netsuite manually.
Once the order was confirmed, a separate email with Invoice information was sent back to the distributor.
This is inefficient and prone to errors due to the large volume of Purchase Orders to be processed daily.
Solution:
Purpose | To capture purchase orders placed by distributors automatically and acknowledge them once the purchase order is processed. To send a confirmed invoice to distributors together with the associated product license key. |
