An Order Form For The Times
EDI as a whole is focused on the communication between businesses electronically in order to improve the overall process of a company communicating with one or several other companies. But not every company can afford the costs associated with a fully fleshed out EDI solution, so they must look to alternatives. Thankfully, with new resources coming online every day, there are real alternatives to EDI solutions.
Shoestring Commerce has put together a webinar series focused on providing solutions that should improve the way you do business electronically. They are covering many subjects but they have started out with the Excel order form. It was an interesting choice since in many ways the online order form is the beginning of the supply chain process or the EDI process for that matter. Interestingly enough, this webinar highlights features and functions on creating an excel order form that will potentially allow you to have an intelligent linking of this order form to your inventory system.
Best of all? These webinars are free and look to be something they plan on doing on a regular basis.
