Holiday Volume

On December 8, 2008. By Fran, under Tech Talk.

After spending some time with our client support technicians, it seems that in the rush of the holiday season, our clients not only face shorter deadlines and shipping volume but unique EDI issues as well.

At holiday time, clients ship a much higher volume of goods, which can complicate every aspect of shipping logistics. From packing a much higher number of boxes and labeling to creating multiple invoices for stores or distribution centers. Holiday logistics can become exponentially more complex.

“During the holiday season many issues for support are easily fixed with features that are already built into The EC GearBox”-Tech Support

With our sheer variety of EDI capabilities & customization, each client has the ability to attain an automated EDI operation. Within our systems, there are tools for everyday business and tools that might only be used during this season when business traffic is high.

Clients found themselves learning how to easily edit items off an ASN or even delete items, while others use the GearBox reports to track invoices, ASNs or any transaction inbound and outbound that was sent or received from any given time frame even though these activities were easily performed manually during periods of low activity they would be impossible to perform without high level tools.

For business, especially in the wake of current economic challenges, it is imperative to manage every order to insure compete and timely fulfillment. The strength of an EDI system must mimic these goals allowing your EDI operation to be, productive & robust.

An EDI solution that is flexible & powerful is one part of managing holiday volume. Combine that power with knowledgeable staff, backed up by on call support & the result is a solution with all of the necessary tools to tackle a tough holiday season!
