For a large proportion of organisations, warehousing systems are a separate entity to their main ERP systems, and many are not only separate systems but are outsourced to third parties.
Maintaining the synchronisation of your ERP system with those of the warehouse is essential for stock control and order processing. Since 2003, First B2B has been the industry leader in the successful use of electronic document exchange to integrate ERP and warehouse systems. We fully understand both the requirements and complexities of the systems, and confidently provide an EDI solution that will deliver the sub-one minute information transfers, and feature the reliable requirements that are necessary for this essential connection.
We have a proven and impressive history of satisfying complex requirements in the supply chain integration of warehouse functions for clients, customers, personal systems, and third-party warehouses. We have an in-depth knowledge of the industry and are able to tailor an EDI solution to your exact specifications. First B2B assists businesses to reduce the costs and complexities of warehouse management with supply chain integrations, to improve efficiency and increase organisation. This is all encapsulated into one tailored EDI solution.
Third-party logistics providers exchange large quantities of detailed information with their clients in order to facilitate a smooth, consistent and ongoing delivery cycle of goods. This is to ensure that the goods that we all take for granted appear on retailers’ shelves when required. This cycle encompasses everything from delivery requests, delivery notes, proof of delivery and customer returns, all needing to be presented in a digestible format.
Our knowledgeable team at First B2B has specific expertise in the business processes that underpin the logistics industry and use this knowledge to develop highly effective solutions to support a sustainable supply chain. We understand that the logistics industry is a 24/7 operation that relies heavily upon the reliability and efficient running of management systems. These systems are responsible for the timely arrival of goods - when a ten-minute delay can mean the difference between a delivery being accepted or rejected, efficiency has a significant impact upon costs, and, ultimately, on the success or failure of a business.
