In today's competitive economy, your enterprise needs to differentiate on service. When your B2B customer wants to define the formats used for your electronic file exchange agreements, non-compliance isn't an option. You need to be able to translate and process, whatever your customers submit, and rapidly enable your suppliers and service providers to quickly integrate into your systems and processes.

Automating Your Business Processes
Stonebranch’s B2B File Transfer solution portfolio enables you to communicate electronically with your customers and business partners, despite disparate technologies that each organization may have in place. With Stonebranch’s EDI solution, you can accept transactions from each partner and translate these messages so they can easily be processed by your partner’s business application. Whether it’s a fax, an email or a file, you can quickly send and receive your documents securely while maintaining compliance with your customers and trading partners’ requirements.

Stonebranch solutions provide all transaction sets (ASC X12, EDIFACT, XML) including detailed invoices, credits, invoice summaries, purchase orders, product activity reports and any and all types of data including EDI, XML, financial data and other sensitive business information. Your documents are delivered securely through one of an extensive list of supported protocols or traditional VAN services. You can import files from the most widely available accounting packages, CRM and ERP solutions on the market.

Each time a document is received, the data is verified, audited, formatted and forwarded to your business partner. It’s that easy!

Benefits of B2B File Transfer Automation

• Streamline Business Processes
  By automating your business processes, you eliminate the manual intervention that often causes errors. As an added benefit, your company reduces paper waste, essentially “greening” your processes.
  
  
• Reduce Costs
  Paper processing is expensive. From an operational perspective, paper processing leads to higher transport costs, slower collection of receivables and inaccurate inventories. Most companies don’t realize that up to 15 percent of their revenue is consumed by printing, filing, faxing, data entry and storage.
  
  
• Improve Productivity
  Eliminating manual entry and automating routine business transactions increase business productivity. EDI also shortens your transaction processing cycles, contributing to better in-stock positions and lower inventory levels.
  
  
• Build Closer Business Relationships
  Create a competitive advantage by simplifying the exchange of routine transactions with your trading partners. EDI provides more accurate information to your business partners than faxed, emailed or mailed documents. You are able to provide quicker response, increasing your customer service levels.
  
  
• Comply with Partner Mandates
  Documents transferred through EDI ensure that your company is compliant with your trading partner’s regulations. AS2 protocols provide the necessary encryption and auditing needed to meet these mandates. More and more, companies are tasked with their partners only accepting EDI documents, with many companies imposing fines if you send documents through more traditional methods.
