More Than Technology: How People Drive Success in EDI Managed Services

In today’s fast-moving, connected world, EDI has become a core technology for businesses seeking to streamline their supply chains, automate processes, and improve communication with partners.

But here’s the thing: EDI technology is only part of the puzzle. The real magic happens when skilled professionals manage, monitor, and optimize these systems.

That’s where EDI managed services come in. It’s about having a dedicated team of experts by your side, blending deep technical knowledge with industry-specific insights to truly transform the way you operate. 

At CoEnterprise, we’ve developed a revolutionary new offering called Syncrofy Integration Cloud (SIC). It’s a game-changing managed service alternative that will redefine your on-premise EDI/B2B operations, replace your existing solution, and help you avoid costly supply chain issues.

In this post, we’ll dive into how the human touch supercharges SIC and why it’s essential to unlocking the full potential of your EDI system.

Deep expertise beyond plug-and-play solutions

EDI might sound simple, but it’s far from it. There are complex protocols, specific file formats, and various systems that need to talk to each other without a hitch. Without deep technical expertise, even the most advanced EDI systems can stumble and cause delays, errors, or even total disruption.

With SIC, you get more than just technology—you get a team of skilled professionals who know EDI inside and out. They don’t just set up your system and walk away. They’re actively involved, keeping tabs on the latest EDI standards, proactively troubleshooting issues, and tailoring solutions that fit your business like a glove. This way, you can focus on your core work and know that your EDI infrastructure is in expert hands.

Companies using EDI systems managed by experts can reduce transaction errors by up to 40% and speed up order-to-cash cycles by as much as 50%.

Tailored solutions for your industry

Every industry has its own playbook—different standards, compliance requirements, and best practices for managing data. Whether you’re in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, or logistics, SIC is built to understand the ins and outs of your industry.

What sets our team apart is their ability to create a customized solution that goes beyond just the technical setup. They dive deep into understanding your unique business context and industry challenges. For example, in healthcare, compliance with HIPAA regulations is critical. In retail, seamless coordination across the supply chain is key. Our team works with you to streamline processes and ensure your EDI system not only meets industry regulations but also helps your business run more smoothly.

Trust and reliability

Let’s face it: trust is the backbone of any successful partnership, and when it comes to managing something as mission-critical as your EDI system, you want to know everything is in good hands. At CoEnterprise, we believe transparency is non-negotiable.

From regular performance reports to open communication about potential issues, we keep you in the loop. No hidden fees, no surprises. If an issue pops up, you’ll know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what’s being done to fix it. This level of transparency fosters trust and lets you feel more in control—even when you’re relying on an outside team.

Subject matter experts dedicated to customer success

EDI is not a “set it and forget it” system. It requires continuous monitoring, tweaking, and adapting as your business grows and evolves. That’s why having a dedicated team of subject matter experts (SMEs) is so valuable. These experts become an extension of your team. They’re not just there to fix problems; they’re proactively identifying areas for improvement and suggesting ways to optimize your processes.

In fact, businesses that actively optimize their EDI systems with the help of dedicated experts see a 20% increase in overall productivity. 

Our SMEs take a strategic approach, working with your internal teams to align the EDI system with your broader business goals. As a result, your EDI system doesn’t just keep up with your business—it helps propel it forward.

A strategic partnership for long-term growth

EDI is more than just a tool—it’s a strategic asset. And like any asset, it delivers the most value when it’s aligned with your long-term business goals. That’s where our advisory services come in.

We don’t just keep the systems running. We provide strategic insights on how you can leverage EDI to enhance your supply chain visibility, reduce transaction errors, and strengthen relationships with your partners. It’s all about helping you achieve your business objectives—not just today, but in the years to come.

Technology is impressive, but it’s the people behind the scenes who bring it to life. With SIC, you’re not just getting an EDI system, you’re getting a team of professionals who understand your industry, are committed to transparency, and are fully invested in your success.

At the end of the day, it’s the human element that turns EDI from a technical tool into a strategic advantage for your business.

Leverage the right platform & provider

Putting all this into action is key to unlocking the full potential of your business. And a big part of that is choosing the right platform and technology partner. Your choice will directly impact the scalability, security, and adaptability of your data infrastructure.
