EDI Services

EDI
SSL's consultants have unrivalled experience in providing EDI solutions. Over the years, our team have provided a range of solutions from fully integrated and automated to simple receive and print, across most UK industry sectors.

EDI Mapping - Our experience and understanding of the structure and content of most EDI messages means that we can usually assist in the process, regardless of the translation software. In many cases the process will involve us working with your end system experts to establish data requirements.

.Preparation of and interpretation of MIGs
(Message Information Guidelines) -
The MIG should be the specification of both the process and the information exchanged with your trading partner. It should also cover the testing process and provide a list of contacts. In an ideal world it will also provide realistic test data.

Automation - The key to making real gains is with effective automation. The benefits to an organisation of a fully integrated e-commerce system are huge. We acheive this in practice using a combination of careful design and control scripts that not only perform the relevant tasks, but also provide error handling when a process fails.

Testing - Our experience with the majority of end systems including SAP, mean that we can undertake most of the testing through to the end system. We will also work with you once your start the end-to-end testing with your trading partners.

We have many success stories with standardisation, gaining certification from the Dutch EDI certification authority being just one.

Once fully tested and validated, your system should run without trouble or manual intervention.

Hosting - Our hosting services can provide a complete, managed EDI translation service.This combines the benefits of a managed solution, with full visibility of system activity and audit being made available to you.
We have provided translation services to most of the supermarkets and major resellers, accommodating a range of standards including Tradacoms, EDIFACT, EANCOM, ANSI X12 and ODETTE. Our team have experience of a number of systems including ETS, REIMS, JCommerce, Meadowhouse and Sterling Gentrans.
