Customer service & release management · Automotive components
Acknowledge and ship every release on time.
EDI 830s and 862s land across four OEM portals, each in a different format, and a release desk keys them by hand. A late ASN becomes a chargeback.
The reality
Releases arrive faster than people can key them.
An 830 lands in the customer portal, gets printed, and sits until someone has time to compare it against capacity. The 856 ASN goes out late, the barcode label fails the scan at receiving, and a chargeback follows — all because the release desk is a manual queue that can't keep up with the EDI feed.
The operator owns the desk. It ingests every 830 and 862, checks the demand against the build plan, prepares the 856 ASN with compliant labels, and confirms the shipment — so acknowledgments and ship notices keep pace with the releases.
