“we wanted to concentrate more on the end consumer. But with all our call centre staff tied up on the phones taking orders, we weren’t able to offer the kind of service level to our end consumers that we wanted to. Now with the orders coming in by EDI, our phone lines have been freed up and about 50% of our calls are now with our end consumers.”
Trevor Esera — IT manager. Rinnai
“We’ve managed to achieve everything we wanted without having to go out and buy expensive new software or change our systems because it leverages existing processes,”
Les Reynolds — Systems Accountant. Canterbury District Health Board
Frequently Asked Questions

Web EDI allows suppliers to trade digitally without full EDI integration, providing a web-based way to receive orders and submit confirmations, ASNs, and invoices.
Which suppliers is Web EDI best suited for?
Web EDI is ideal for low- to medium-volume suppliers or those without the capability or volume to justify EDI investment.
