Daler-Rowney consolidates EDI online with Wesupply

Tiffany Howard, IT manager at Daler-Rowney, makes the point that the organisation is not new to EDI – in fact the manufacturer has used a myriad of systems to trade electronically. Wesupply's OneTime was one such, used to trade electronically with an out of town art and craft retailer. However, Howard says that it was the lure of further efficiencies through consolidation onto one platform, with integration into its back office system, that prompted the change. "A significant factor in choosing Wesupply as our EDI provider was the company's ability to provide us with a solution that was capable of including pallet information on Advanced Shipment Notices – a key requirement for trading with one of our customers," explains Howard. "The solution will also provide us with the flexibility to meet new customers' EDI requirements," she adds. Daler-Rowney will now be using the Wesupply platform to automate exchange of orders, invoices and ASNs with its customers.
