Supply Integration Manager

A window to all your business partners

Effective management of the entire value chain. SIM enables our customers to free up time by digitizing, structuring and automating routine work linked to order deviations, delays and goods receipts.

Integration made easy

Simply put, EDI is the best way to exchange business documents quickly and securely anywhere in the world. If your business does not already use EDI, it is highly likely that your trading partners want to do so.

So what benefits can it offer to your business?
Our EDI integration solution SIM gives you reliability, visibility and the ability to integrate all your business transactions with multiple business systems to your customers and suppliers. After reviewing your existing business processes, related to your business partners’ transaction requirements, you can be ready for integration. We help you get started, develop guidelines and help with both training and activation of your customers and suppliers.

Large amounts of transactions?

The volume of EDI transactions that each of your trading partners handle can be an important criterion for defining your priorities.

A large number of outgoing purchase orders and corresponding incoming invoices that you need to manually enter in to your system can be cost effective for you to automate through integration, saving time and cost.

SIM as a modern EDI platform that fits your Supply Chain

One solution

Once you have seen that standardisation and digitalisation of communication with your suppliers, customers and transporters is the right way to go, SIM offers you the best way forward.

Extended service

SIM forms an extension of your existing business system, and can be connected effectively and at low cost to new stakeholders, either by means of traditional EDI or via a portal, also called Web EDI, which can also be used to complement existing flows, administer deviation reports and collect data from additional data sources.

The web portal is currently available as standard in 14 languages, which means that you can roll out country by country and have everything ready from day one.

Automation

By automating repetitive routines, such as chasing order confirmations, you can carry out the work in a smarter way. This means that you and your colleagues can spend less time chasing waterfalls and have more time for creating value, which increases your competitiveness. Offers can be received and compared on the move, goods are transported using correct labelling and invoices can be validated against pending purchase orders. SIM has several ready-made business flows, but can easily be tailored for additional processes, which makes it an extremely flexible system. If you already have an EDI supplier, we can offer a cost-effective alternative in which your existing mappings are transferred at no extra cost.

Get connected

The platform is best used as a cloud service, saving time right from the start. We have ready-made interfaces with the most common business systems on the market and additional standards, which means that we can promise you a fixed price at start-up and a promised start date, with no surprises. We also help with roll-out, and we contact your suppliers and customers, and train them as effectively as possible, at the level of integration that suits them.

Secure and scalable

Our SIM solution is secure and everything we do is scalable for the company’s growth and development needs. There are many advantages to doing business digitally. Through digitalization you can handle more orders in less time and with fewer errors. This makes it possible for companies to reduce costs and expand at the same time.

For customers, this means that their orders are processed, filled in and sent faster. Suppliers have many advantages in that they can increase the number of orders and reduce their leadtime drastically.
