Host Interface between Netsuite and your EDI Trading Partners.

 

 

All products are uniquely bar-coded with GS 1 Global Standards and B2B messages conform to GSI EANCOM Standards. These standards create an environment capable of electronic input of detailed product, delivery, location, price and sales data. This allows insertion of data electronically in one end of the supply chain to be carried through to fulfilment with no manual interference. Fulfilment rates increase and error rates decrease for all parties involved in the order fulfilment chain.

Product and fulfilment data for all the electronic trading partners is captured in GoFar and integrates to the Host Netsuite system providing a true electronic supply chain.

GoFar paperless system includes translation and synchronisation of various catalogues and messages. Orders sent electronically to the warehouse are handled by paperless scanners and desktop computers.

The system may be deployed on a hosted platform using Citrix servers providing access to people in various locations. Without an ERP, WMS - Integrated B2B system, the full ROI benefit would not be realised. Nortech's focusis to eliminate bottlenecks ensuring they achieve a positive ROI by implementing a complete and uninterrupted electronic supply chain.

• GoFar's integrated B2B process eliminates the following Document preparation and printing to paper Mail preparation
• Telephone calling
• Manual data entry in the ERP (raising sales orders, invoices, checking inventory etc) Manual data entry and paper handling in the warehouse
• Errors, providing error detection and correction
• Payment reconciliation

With an ERP-WMS Integrated B2B system, the following was achieved:

• Eliminate data-entry cost
• Eliminate data-entry errors
• Fast turnaround and fulfillment of orders

• Accurate and real-time information relating to sales, inventory and product information Electronic Inventory and stock control
• Electronic payments and payment reconciliation from customers

Go Far's full B2B ED! system allows for much more than simply receiving electronic purchase orders. Electronic information becomes more useful as data becomes available to more than the warehouse and billing department.

Included in translatable messages is PAD (retail sales analysis data). GoFar receives and translates PAD into readable reports for sales analysis. This data can be sent on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and reports detail of store level retail sales. This report can be drilled down to exacting detail for analysis of

• Stock on hand
• Product demographic
• Sales by SKU
• Stock On Order
• Weekly Sales Totals
• Sales by Store by SKU
• Analysis of over performing and underperforming stores

This is a useful tool when communicating sales projection and sales adjustments with retail head offices and buyers. The value of this level of communication further enhances the ROI of an integrable system like GoFar EDI.

The success of an EDI implementation is achieved by linking different systems together to ensure an error-free trading system based on GS 1 Bar Codes and GSI EANCOM messages. This case proves the GSI standards are the building blocks of a true paperless and electronic supply chain. The GoFar B2B system is a viable and affordable method of linking retailers to suppliers and especially connecting disparate host systems, including ERP and WMS systems, into a single supply system. GoFar translators verify and check data, ensuring error-free processing and a thorough and smooth flow through the electronic chain.
