GamutEDI On-Demand
Business Case

Traditionally, scaling-up to EDI compliance has been an expensive and risky exercise that required purchasing and installing new software, buying or committing to the lease of additional computer hardware, and making extensive changes to your work processes, possibly under the guidance of a highly paid EDI consultant. This investment carried significant technical and commercial risk which needed to be considered against the possibility that your new trading relationship might unfortunately be short-lived.

GamutEDI On-Demand service has been developed to address these risks. GamutEDI is the world's first self-service EDI platform that enables you to meet all of the EDI requirements of your trading partners without significant up-front cost or intrusive changes to your systems and processes.

Designed specifically to meet the needs of businesses that are new to multi-point distribution and supply chain management, GamutEDI is delivered in "the cloud" as a fully-managed service that can be used on a month-to-month basis, without setup fees or minimum-term contracts.

By paying a low usage-based fee you enjoy all of the benefits of the GamutEDI platform, which include:

• The ability to receive and send electronic messages which meet the requirements of your trading partner,
• The ability to undertake efficient scan pack operations using the GamutEDI software to guide your packers efficiently and accurately,
• The ability to print barcoded and compliant SSCC labels straight from your web-browser,
• Fully maintained server hardware, pro-actively monitored to ensure maximum uptime,
• Daily backup of your EDI data to protect against hardware failure or accidental deletion,
• A powerful yet easy to use Web interface that can be accessed from anywhere connected to the Internet including your office, your warehouse, your home, your customer's premises, an airport lounge or Internet cafe, or even the back seat of a taxi using a wireless Internet connection,
• Unparalleled security as a result of our proprietary operating system which has never been hacked and is inpenetrable to viruses and other malware that can be used to gain unauthorised back-door access to other systems,
• A database pre-configured and regularly updated with the names and addresses of distribution centres and stores, message definitions and label formats of the retail majors,
• Connectors to enable the import and export of data between GamutEDI and popular accounting and ERP systems,
• Free technical support provided by our helpful and experienced local support staff,
• Access to competively priced VAN services and peripheral hardware such as barcode scanners and label printers,
• Detailed documentation that can guide you through the implementation of EDI, trader partner accreditation and ongoing use of the GamutEDI platform,
• Access to your EDI system 24x7, either as a subscriber to our hosted GamutEDI On-Demand service (offered through our secure, high-availability data centre) or as a plug & play appliance that can be installed in your own network, and
• A service backed by a global company with more than 25 years experience helping businesses of all sizes with their EDI needs

With subscription fees starting at just A$199 per month, GamutEDI represents simply the best value for money and lowest risk of any product on the market. GamutEDI is the only fully-functional EDI system on the Australian market delivered entirely through a web-browser and available in the cloud.

It takes just minutes to subscribe to the GamutEDI on-line service and start enjoying these benefits. That's why we call GamutEDI The Fast Lane to the Supply Chain.
