How Siemens Fixed What Was Causing Thousands of EDI Order Errors and Solved a Long-Standing Industry Problem in the Process
The Siemens team was experiencing hundreds of costly EDI order errors each month from many of their manufacturer’s representatives. As the sales force for manufacturers, manufacturer’s agents interface with distributors, managing orders and customer service, while manufacturers handle the billing function. As a result, this process is highly important to Siemens. It impacts a manufacturer’s ability to fulfill orders and bill distributor customers.
Siemens reached out to IDEA Exchange, their EDI provider and Value-Added Network (VAN), to find a solution. Siemens is a charter member of IDEA and has been an IDEA Exchange customer for over 20 years.
