RE: (Sales)Web Forms and EDI
SEEBURGER announces FREE WebEDI
SEEBURGER's iMartOne will be rolled out in Europe, supporting European
standards, followed by a rollout in the United States, supporting U.S.
standards.
Breakthrough for Total Business Integration in Retail
SEEBURGER launches free WebEDI portal iMartOne
SEEBURGER AG, a leading provider of business-to-business integration solutions
based in Bretten, Germany, launched at this year's ECR Day on September 11-12,
2002 in Stuttgart a free WebEDI portal for consumer goods and retail companies.
This portal solution hosted by SEEBURGER paves the way for seamless electronic
management of business processes and electronic linkage of partners with low
data volumes. The Bretten-based software company has thereby made a decisive
contribution toward implementing total business integration and achieving a
sustained cost reduction in the retail sector.
Large retail groups have sought for years to integrate business partners with
low data and transaction volumes electronically into their business processes.
The total business integration approach has for the most part failed due to the
cost. That changed; however, when SEEBURGER launched its new WebEDI portal at
this year's ECR Day. SEEBURGER offers consumer goods manufacturers and retailers
free use of a WebEDI portal specially designed to meet industry requirements.
The range of functions that the portal offers corresponds to the recommendations
of the 'Centrale für Coorganisation' (CCG), the service and competence center
for the German consumer goods industry and associated
economic sectors, and includes sector-specific transactions such as orders,
deliveries and invoices (Type 1 and 2 invoices as per CCG recommendation, with
Type 3 in preparation). Other functions include compiling invoice lists,
printing vouchers, and further sorting and filter functions, etc. The portal
solution is currently available in German and English versions, but as SEEBURGER
is keen to see it used all over Europe, other versions can easily be added by
means of language tables.
As an integration platform the WebEDI portal is marketplace-capable and offers
the option of m:n relations between customers and suppliers. That enables retail
groups to map individual processes if required. WebEDI data is relayed to retail
groups free of charge via the portal in XML format by SOAP (Simple Object Access
Protocol). Fees are charged only for additional services or special functions
such as extended archiving or special transmission modes.
"If standards are adequate, no costs whatever are incurred by the partners
involved," says Bernd Seeburger, founder and CEO of SEEBURGER AG. With the new
solution, SEEBURGER offers a 100 percent supplier link unrivalled by any other
provider - from free WebEDI via a ready-to-run EDI solution, the
SmartRetailConnector, to cross-enterprise solutions with the Business
Integration Server. Customized Web applications and automatic recognition and
processing of paper vouchers with FAX2XML complete the offering.

Subject: [EDI-L] Web Forms and EDI
Hello all,
Does anyone out there have any experience using web forms and edi for
web-based purchasing? We're currently exploring various options for
web-based order entry. We have an in-house web front-end for use with Baan,
but the behind the scenes scripting and hash converting has turned into a
real nightmare, and I am not sure we can get it stable enough for use by our
customers.
I'm curious how web-forms work. Do they basically replace the need for your
trading partners to have an edi translator? Is the data from the form
exported to a file similair to the ones received from an 850 transaction or
is XML the only way to retrieve the data?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
