Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) - Building Block of an Innovative Supplier's Communication

Objectives:
Heidelberg focuses strongly on electronic communication with its suppliers.

Reasons:

Automatic business processing improves process and data quality
Direct communication of the applications systems
Process-acceleration because of high speed data interchange
Prevention of costs and errors of manual data acquisition
Perceptible cost reduction per operation

One important building block of this strategy is our Web-EDI process which can be used by our suppliers alternatively to classical EDI.

Web-EDI and classical EDI:
Ways of supplier's communication

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG: Electronic Data Interchange

Web-EDI with our partner Seeburger as an alternative to classical EDI

Web-EDI combines the advantages of EDI with the flexibility of the internet
Attractive solution even for medium size suppliers, no investment on supplier-side
Heidelberg pays the implementing costs, the supplier pays a fee per year for using the system
Suppliers can send and receive data on electronic way (automatic interface on Heidelberg side).
