A lot of companies utilize a third party logistics company (3PL) to manage their warehouse, inventory and shipping. Outsourcing your warehouse through a 3PL is a great way to allow your company to focus on its core business while leaving the logistics to the experts.
A 3PL does cause somewhat of a paperwork nightmare. Orders, inventory levels and shipment details all need to be sent back and forth between the logistics firm and their client. An EDI integration solution can alleviate all the headaches and stress of manually entering data and email and faxing information back and forth. Information is extracted from your MS Dynamics system, converted to EDI and then sent directly to your 3PL. The return documents are then picked up by eBRIDGE and integrated into your ERP. Here are examples of some of the documents that are sent via EDI between a 3PL and its client:
• 940 Warehouse Shipping Order
• 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice
• 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice
• 846 Stock Status
• 947 Inventory Adjustment
A 3PL EDI Integration Solution by eBRIDGE Software is available for MS Dynamics GP and MS Dynamics SL.
