6 LET S START AT THE BASICS EDI is not an out of the box solution Whether your organization is implementing EDI on your own terms to introduce best business practice or you are implementing EDI to meet a Trading Partners requirement's, the following must be considered: EDI Standards (X12, EDIFACT, XML ) EDI Communication Protocols (VAN, AS2, FTP ) Integration with Freestyle Commerce Protocols

7 EDI STANDARDS ANSI X12 Developed by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1979 Most popular EDI transaction set in North America Transaction sets given numeric values, eg PO = 850, Invoice = 810 etc Multiple standards within X12, 4010, 4030, 5010 etc EDIFACT Developed by the United Nations (UN) in 1986 Most popular EDI transaction set outside of N America Mostly used in Europe &Far East Transaction sets given names PO = ORDERS, Invoice = INVOIC, etc Multiple standards within EDIFACT Most popular current standard is D96A Tradacoms Developed by the United Kingdom Retail Sector in 1982 Had been most popular EDI Transaction Set in UK but is now being over taken by EDIFACT Still used today by UK retailers but is slowly being phased out and replaced by EDIFACT subset Eancom

11 EDI 753/754 & ASN AND GS1-128 LABEL INVOICE 850 OUTGOING PO / INCOMING SO 855 PURCHASE ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 860 PURCHASE ORDER CHANGE REQUEST 856 ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE 753 REQUEST FOR ROUTING 754 ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS 846 INVENTORY INQUIRY/ADVICE GS1 128 LABELS GS1 128 LABEL

12 GS1-128 LABELS In today s business environment, GS1-128 (formerly known as UCC- 128) labels have become a necessary part of the criteria for large format retailers in automating the supply chain with their suppliers GS1-128 labels are an outer label affixed to each carton and/or pallet and provide information about a particular shipment This label will alert the trading partner about shipment information such as who the vendor / supplier is, carton content, store ship to location, etc, and is a mix of both human readable as well as scan able information The GS1-128 label on every carton is scanned at its destination location (eg trading partner central warehouse) and information usually is tied to an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) that has already been transmitted via EDI to the trading partner from the supplier

13 EDI AND THE OMNI-CHANNEL The Omni-Channel is the evolution of multi-channel retailing, but is concentrated more on a seamless approach to the consumer experience through all available shopping channels; for example: Mobile internet devices Computers Bricks-and-mortar Television Radio Direct mail Sales catalogs, etc Retailers are meeting the new customer demands by deploying specialized supply chain strategies and software solutions Today s suppliers must be able to support the Omni-Channel retailers new demands or face the possibility of extinction over the coming years

14 ECOMMERCE SITES ONLINE MARKETPLACES WHAT IS THE OMNI-CHANNEL? The major challenge for today s suppliers, in order to meet the retailers' new Omni-Channel needs, is to get their goods and services to the correct channel as quickly and as accurately as possible and, needless to say, in the most cost effective manner DROP SHIP PURCHASE ORDER 940 DROP SHIP SUPPLIER WAREHOUSE / 3PL ORDERS AND SHIPMENTS REACHING YOUR CUSTOMERS! BOX STORE

15 HOW DOES EDI HELP THE OMNI-CHANNEL? Fully integrated EDI solutions deliver full end to end seamless connectivity between the supplier and all parties in the supply chain From box store retailers (Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, etc) To online retailers (Amazon, Buycom, Wayfair, etc) To manufacturers, third party logistics providers (3PL) and even online shopping carts (which may be powered by online platform providers such as 3dcart, Volusion, Magento, Shopify, etc) Using EDI allows all business documentation needed such as Purchase Orders (EDI 850) Invoices (EDI 810) Inventory Updates (EDI 846) Warehouse Shipping Orders (EDI 940) Advanced Shipping Notices (EDI 856) and so forth to be exchanged seamlessly and without error

16 HOW DOES EDI HELP THE OMNI-CHANNEL? As EDI introduces full automation there is: No need for the supply chain partners to re-key data The supplier benefits greatly from increased speed increased accuracy greater visibility reduced labor costs While the omni-channel retailer is assured that they will get the right product to the right customer in the right time frame and within agreed costs
