Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) - Building Block of an Innovative Supplier's Communication |
 |
Objectives:
Heidelberg focuses strongly on electronic communication with its suppliers.
Reasons:
- Automatic business processing improves process and data quality
- Direct communication of the applications systems
- Process-acceleration because of high speed data interchange
- Prevention of costs and errors of manual data acquisition
- Perceptible cost reduction per operation
One important building block of this strategy is our Web-EDI process which can be used by our suppliers alternatively to classical EDI.

Web-EDI with our partner Seeburger as an alternative to classical EDI
- Web-EDI combines the advantages of EDI with the flexibility of the internet
- Attractive solution even for medium size suppliers, no investment on supplier-side
- Heidelberg pays the implementing costs, the supplier pays a fee per year for using the system
- Suppliers can send and receive data on electronic way (automatic interface on Heidelberg side).
