Web-Connect Users Reap Big Return on Investment

June 19, 2002 - Hackensack, NJ – Web-Connect™, the latest solution from the B2B application providers of eZCom Software Inc., is receiving praise from its user community. Written with suppliers’ needs in mind, Web-Connect™ is the first known web-based EDI and E-Commerce solution on the market that combines the flexibility and convenience of the Internet with the power and accuracy of expensive enterprise level applications. As a result, users have already recognized tremendous savings in time and the bottom line.

“I have used several EDI programs and have found Web-Connect to be the most efficient and user friendly by far” said Sandra Giorgi of International Sales, a wholesale distributor within the retail supply chain. “The designers possess a real understanding of the retail environment and have created a program which makes the processing of orders painless. Documents are created remarkably fast and the Global Updates option is the bomb!! It allows you to enter or change key information for a large amount of documents in seconds. To do this in other programs is typically a very tedious and time consuming process.”

Web-Connect offers users an easy way to exchange business critical documents with their customers. In addition to managing multiple trading relationships from a single login, the application supports all translation standards, including EDI, XML, and proprietary file structures. Designed to take the complexities out of EDI, Web-Connect enables users to focus on their core business functions: getting orders, shipping merchandise, and billing customers.

“Everyone on eZCom’s management team has practical supply chain EDI experience,” said Carol Heymann, President of eZCom Software. “Beginning with our basic knowledge of the challenges faced by small and medium companies pertaining to EDI, we invested the better part of one year researching and planning the aspects of Web-Connect before writing a single line of code. From speaking with dozens of suppliers, we learned of the limitations and frustrations commonly found with other web-based EDI applications.”

“Web-Connect is basically EDI for Dummies,” said Lorraine Morris of Brenda Buell & Associates. “It is the most user friendly system that we have encountered, you just point and click. By using Web-Connect’s batch processing for ASNs and Invoices, what previously took us 2 days of work can now be completed in 2 hours.”

“The entire application has been developed for speed and efficiency,” said Bernie Byrne, eZCom’s CTO. “Although typical companies attracted to web-based applications will process fewer transactions, Web-Connect uses enterprise level technologies and can easily support companies that process thousands of documents per day. Our technology decisions encompass an open-ended and scalable environment, so Web-Connect will always remain a step ahead of growth requirements. Supported by our any-to-any translation capabilities, our clients can transact business with any one they choose.”
