One seamless connection to all your supply chain trading partners
Prodigo’s Xchange EDI network is a full-service, peer-to-peer electronic transaction messaging network designed to help trading partners rapidly exchange electronic transactions at a lower cost per transaction. Prodigo helps organizations increase supplier participation in their EDI initiatives. For many of your supply chain trading partners EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) is not their core business. Prodigo fills the technical gap between your back-office environment and each trading partners’ preferred connection method. The Xchange automates supply chain transactions (850 PO, 855 Acknowledgement, 856 ASN, 810 Invoice, 867 Sales Reports) between trading partners of varying technical capabilities (EDI, XML, flat file, Supplier Portal Flip functionality), thereby eliminating the need for paper documents and associated manual processing.
Through Prodigo’s Xchange, health systems have enhanced visibility and decision support tools to maximize supply chain efficiency, through-put, and performance of trading partners. As a result, Xchange has become a central building block for numerous supply chain modernization and transformation strategies.
