RUN THIS CHART AS A SLIDE SHOW TO SEE ANNIMATION.
This chart shows the SUPPLIER as the center of the flow. The supplier who decides to handling EDI communications directly is typically a large company or has grown-up doing this EDI over many years.
3PL Central supports direct integration with suppliers in the following situations:
Supplier maps to one of 3PL Central’s standard formats (X12, Tab-delimited, Fixed Position Flat File or XML)
3PL Central performs custom programming (for a fee) and maps to the supplier's formats
Business-to-Business – When no direct to retailer communications is needed (e.g. EDI 856). For retailer integration we partner with SPS Commerce, DiCentral and Spring Systems or your existing EDI service provider.
