Reduced Cycle Time - Data can be sent and received,
24 hours a day. Because electronic communications allows business to continue
outside the normal business day, the turnaround time for a business document
can be reduced from days to hours or minutes.
|
| |
Increased Efficiency - More than 70% of manual data
entry tasks originate from computer-generated documents. When trading partners
develop compatible electronic documents, data is never rekeyed, or manually
filed. Electronic communication can eliminate tedious work and reduce the
risk of human error.
|
| |
Optimized Inventory - Since electronic communications
can be integrated into a company's business structure, they can provide faster,
better, and more accurate information about inventory status. Replenishment
can be driven by consumption and changing needs can be quickly assessed and
responded to without manual intervention or review.
|
| |
Improved Business Relationships - Setting up electronic
communications requires both trading partners to gain a better understanding
of each other's business processes. Implementation involves the entire organization
and expands the channels of communication.
