Electronic Data Interchange using DCI EDI™

DCI EDI™ automates purchase order and invoice submission by vendors to their buyers via secured interface. DCI EDI is unique and differentiated from typical solutions because Direct Commerce validates invoices against buyer-specified rules before submission thus ensuring that all required information is provided before the invoice is accepted. In addition, Direct Commerce monitors all transmissions and assists in repairing data, re-posting files, updating system logic and other operational activities to keep transactions flowing. 
Once processed, electronic invoices can be routed for approval, matched to purchasing and receiving information, or delivered directly into the company's financial system. Archived electronic invoices can be easily retrieved online for auditing, dispute resolution, or reporting.
