SAME DATA. FURTHER GOOD.

01 / THE WORKFLOW

The information problem behind the operation.

Distributors operate between upstream and downstream requirements. Supplier item identifiers may differ from customer references, and a shipping notice may arrive separately from the goods. Business data needs a consistent path through those differences.

02 / THE WORKFLOW

A working example.

A distributor receives an EDI order, resolves the customer item reference, and passes agreed information to its ERP. The outbound shipment produces a separate partner exchange. For prescription-drug distribution, use Connect RX for serialized records alongside the commercial order and shipment flow.

03 / THE WORKFLOW

Define the handoffs once. Use them consistently.

A clear integration brief records the document owner, the system of record, the partner specification and the result expected at each endpoint. Include ordinary transactions and one realistic discrepancy so responsibilities are clear when a handoff needs attention.
