OMS Roadmap for advanced EDI

Or is your current system outdated, and would you like expert advice on alternatives? OMS International has the knowledge and expertise in order to offer you advice and support.
- On-site research
What is currently being used, what works, what does not, and what is it you want to achieve? - Creating OMS advice including points for improvement
This includes how implementing this advice will benefit your organization and how much it will cost - Assigning a project manager
From within your own organization or from OMS - Implementing advice in whatever form
Your current EDI solution as the foundation, or an entirely new solution? We implement the advice within your organization - Testing whether everything works

Onboarding
There is still work to do once you have chosen an EDI solution. Your business partners will have to be informed of and connected to your chosen solution. This is called “”onboarding””. Onboarding can take time. For example, how can you convince business partners of the added value of your choice? We have a lot of experience in this matter, and would be happy to help.
Do you just want practical support during the onboarding process? A couple of extra hands to get the job done? OMS International can help you here too.
