Change your document exchange strategy with Comarch EDI

Becoming a paperless company is more essential than ever before. The benefits of going digital are obvious: there is no need to store paper, documents can be located quickly and easily, at any time from anywhere, savings can be made on office materials and postage, and productivity increases as employees don’t have to spend time going through paperwork.

As today’s companies are searching for ways to reduce costs, digitizting and facilitating faster information flow through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) seems to be the best solution. EDI allows companies across most industries to send and receive all business documents, including sales orders, shipment payments, and return documents, without using paper, mail, phone or fax.

Comarch EDI connects companies with their trading and logistic partners worldwide and is compliant with the latest global standards, so it is easy to connect to any business partner.  Thanks to the implementation of blockchain, traceability, and machine learning technology, Comarch EDI ensures that your supply chain processes will always be perfectly optimized.

Logistics: a prime reason to go paperless with EDI

Let’s have a closer look at transport and logistics, an industry in which exchanging documents and having access to reliable data is necessary on a daily basis. Paperless deliveries are already implemented by couriers in shipments to customers. Knowing this, is it possible to organize paperless logistics in B2B? EDI makes logistics faster, easier, and more reliable. Using EDI in the delivery process allows you to speed up the unloading time on-site. It also facilitates the work of dispatchers and accelerates the delivery process itself.  EDI is used not only for deliveries, but also for transport planning and transport execution, and warehousing. Logistics operators indicate a 99.4 per cent increase in the accuracy of related documentation using EDI compared to traditional methods.

Comarch offers a mobile app for proof of delivery (POD) thereby enabling rapid receipt of information about delivery status. Mobile POD creates value by reducing errors and increasing efficiency. As a result, transport and operation teams can improve performance, boost productivity, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience.
