Hi Doris and List,
One more service to consider.
Does your EDI supplier move the money for you??? We do.
Why would a company spend big $'s on sophisticated EDI messaging only to
write out and mail a paper check after the order is acknowledged?
Or after the buying partner receives the invoice, they send a paper check
which the selling partner must open by hand and manually enter as a deposit.
Electronic Funds Transfer or EFT/ACH will take the 5-10 day "float" from the
bank.
This will allow the trading partners fast access to funds otherwise tied up
by the banks.
Remember a paper item is subject to the whimsical lethargy of the USPS.
All the time your money spends trapped in side an envelope is pure profit
for the Banker.
Sincerely,
John McPherson

Subject: Average EDI Costs
<< File: Doris Jones.vcf >> I am with Forestexpress, a virtual marketplace
serving the Forest Product
Industry.
I am doing some research on how EDI charges have changed in the past 5-8
years (since my active involvement in EDI with GEIS and Harbinger).
Specific information that I am trying to get a better understanding of is:
* How do VANs charge for EDI transactions today
* What are typical charges for on network translation (set-up and
ongoing)
* If you are paying for your EDI service on a subscription basis, what
are the parameters around what's included in your fees
* Are you paying extra charges for reporting
* What are the set up costs (cost of entry to EDI, software,
integration, van set-up)
Anything that you can share with me around these areas is most appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Doris Jones
