EDI

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

EDI improves transaction accuracy, time, efficiency and visibility while reducing costs and errors associated with manual order processing. Purchase orders, shipment notices, invoices, rebates and returns are accurately and securely exchanged via standardized data forms through computer-to-computer communications between your company and Steiner. Please consult your Steiner representative to review your requirements and coordinate implementation with our IT team.

 

  • Cost Savings Expenses for paper, printing, storage, filing, postage and document retrieval are reduced or eliminated.

  • Improved Accuracy Improves data quality by reducing transactions with errors from illegible handwriting, keying errors, and lost faxes and mail.

  • Increased Efficiencies Secure exchange of data helps ensure business-critical information is sent on time and provides real-time visibility into transaction status.
 

Automated PO Processing

Through our Automated PO Processing solution, your emailed or faxed purchase orders are automatically converted into sales orders with 100% accuracy ready to process for pickup at one of our convenient locations or shipped on-time to your facility or jobsite.

 

  • Cost Savings Use your existing accounting system. No need for costly IT infrastructure upgrades.

  • Improved Accuracy With standardized forms, your purchase orders are automatically converted with 100% accuracy.
