Hi,
Before we get into the details of how we install and accredit you with your suppliers I would like to say “Welcome” and ensure that you are aware that we are here for you. We need you to understand that you can contact us at any stage for support or any questions you may have at any time. Also no question is “stupid”, if there is a question you have then we would rather that you have the answer rather than dwelling on it. We tend to say that EDI is a ‘team sport’ and by that we mean that there are multiple players involved and we all need to ensure we work together so think of us as an extension of your company and ask away!
So let’s get started!
The process we go through is as follows
1. Setup of EDI to DEAR
2. Check the system and ensure it fits in as closely as possible to your current/desired process.
3. Training
4. Look for a “Go Live” date

Setup Customer Imports

The Order Exchange can setup this up but we will need you to provide some information as per below;
We will need to check how your customer cards are setup in Dear when importing orders linking to your Retailers
Is there one account (if so, can you provide the Customer code) or one account per store (If so, they will need to have the store codes attached to the Customer Cards). This is usually can be the trickiest section to setup and will know if it’s working when we get some test orders to try and import.
Training
Once we are all happy with the tests and process we will organize some training and Q&A time. This will include how to monitor the system and get support.
Look for a “Go Live” date
The last step is to look for a go live date. At this stage the system is ready and running but it is just waiting for the go ahead and for trading partners to turn the data feeds on.
Support requests
Simply email support@theorderexchange.com.au. Alternatively (or if it is urgent) please call us on 1300 780 400.
During the first 2 weeks of going live we monitor the system and check to ensure we did not missing anything. If we find any issues then we discuss them with you and rectify any issues ASAP.
After that we normally have you running along with no issues and enjoying the benefits of EDI! But remember to always contact us with any questions.
