Today already numerous suppliers dispose of own EDI systems and can therefore simply be integrated into the IT systems of the customer, to realize order and supply processes electronically and thus more efficient. However not all suppliers can be integrated with classical EDI because a part of them is not EDI-capable. In order to integrate suppliers without an own EDI system into the supply chain as well, the inubit AG offers a flexible WebEDI solution.

Via the WebEDI solution companies can provide their business partners with requests, delivery schedules etc., which they can access portal-based per browser. So called turn-around forms provided by the application offers the supplier afterwards the possibility to create succeeding documents like e.g. dispatch notifications, delivery notes and invoices and to send those to the customer.

In addition, necessary paper receipts like e.g. material tags incl. barcodes can be created by the system and provided to the supplier for printing (as PDF), if required. The inubit solution converts incoming messages afterwards into EDIFACT messages and passes them to the internal ERP system (e.g. SAP).

Alternatively a direct accounting in the according ERP system without conversion into an EDIFACT message can be executed.
