ediEnterprise is a highly modular set of supply chain solutions designed to automate and streamline the operations and management of international logistics service providers such as freight forwarders, NVOCCs, customs brokers, depots, container terminals, warehouses, trucking companies and ships agencies.

In doing this, it supports and automates the highly fragmented logistics process that is used by service providers all around the world. The ediEnterprise supply chain software draws all of these disparate processes together to give the operator instant access to information and offer management transparent oversight at all times.

The result is a significant competitive advantage for the organization.

Custom-designed for international supply chain providers

This integrated supply chain software has an accounting system that has been built from the ground up to suit the international forwarding, brokerage and logistics community. Importantly, it is powerful and feature rich enough to suit major multinationals yet still simple enough for small businesses to operate.

Digital document storage and retrieval is built into every part of the process. This enables all documents to be stored, catalogued and retrieved on screen during the work process. Data retention can be any combination of online, CD/DVD stored or streaming back device.

The tightly integrated sales management and CRM supply chain solutions includes: quoting, rating, cold call register, opportunity management, marketing campaign management, as well as sales profiling linked to a Customer Service Dashboard.

Critical business advantages of ediEnterprise include:

1. The removal of double keying, and ability of all personnel to instantly access any shipment, record or piece of information. This means higher productivity and major labor savings.
2. Ease of installation and implementation (shrink wrap install).
3. A simple, common user-interface design that hides complex and powerful processes combined with fully electronic training materials make it easier to train new staff and reduces the need for highly skilled labor.
4. Ability to customize and personalize all customer facing documents (eg: Invoices, Statements, Pre-Alerts, Manifests, Order Status and Delivery Advices).
5. Auto-creation and delivery of all client documentation and communications. This includes the integration of fax, e-mail, print and SMS subsystems to provide a common notification and delivery platform.
6. Deep audit tracking of all system and user actions. The result is significantly improved service, reduction in operating costs and an improvement in our clients' ability to win (and retain) new clients.
