EDI Integration for Figlmüller – The situation

All merchandise deliveries to the seven geographically dispersed locations of Figlmüller were previously done exclusively via paper despatch advices. It usually took a long time until these paper documents were available at headquarters and then manually entered into the system. This process made invoice review a time-consuming and tedious task.

The solution

Thanks to the additional transfer of electronic despatch advices (DESADV) via EDI, all merchandise-related information is now immediately sent directly to Figlmüller’s centralized system. This approach makes it much easier and faster for employees to review the invoices issued by suppliers because no manual data entry is required. Other than the one-time cross-check for master data regarding new products, there is absolutely no additional work for Figlmüller.

Thanks to EDI and the EDITEL support team, we optimized our merchandise receiving processes quickly and effortlessly. Ultimately, we end up saving a lot of time and effort. Dieter Repolusk, director of controlling.

EDITEL supported Figlmüller during the course of the entire project, especially during the implementation of the technical interface and in all aspects of collaboration with suppliers.

EDITEL’s converting service processes and delivers the newly issued and reviewed EDIFACT despatch advices to Figlmüller’s internal system. The system went live two months after the project kick-off and has been very well received by all parties.
