The collaboration with Erismann & Cie. GmbH, an internationally operating wallpaper manufacturer, began under exceptional circumstances: Following the unexpected discontinuation of EDI services by the previous provider, a new EDI Service solution had to be implemented within a very short time. EDI Service Partners took over the project implementation and successfully brought the new solution live within one month.
Rapid project implementation
The takeover of the EDI processes was carried out through a rapid implementation. The goal was to maintain uninterrupted operations and ensure the smoothest possible transition. After just one month, the system was successfully up and running in live operation.
Scope of processes and ERP integration
The following EDI processes were implemented:
- ORDERS
- INVOIC
- DESADV (Delivery Notifications)
- INVRPT (Inventory Reports)
- REMADV (Remittance Advices)
The ERP system Microsoft Dynamics Navision was seamlessly integrated. All EDI communication runs through EDI Service Partners, while Erismann retains full control and visibility over all transactions.
Flexible integration: Combination of SFTP and conversion
For some partners, a dedicated SFTP server is also provided. The customer uploads the data there themselves. This solution works without conversion if the partners accept the format directly – a flexible interim solution that is efficient for specific cases.
Successful partner onboarding and ongoing expansion
Currently, more than 25 partners are already connected. New partner onboardings are carried out continuously and proceed efficiently and systematically thanks to the optimized infrastructure.
The project was purposefully set up from day one – with minimal effort on our side. We particularly appreciate how smoothly the partner onboardings are handled.
