Marine Terminal Operators are experiencing the ever increasing costs of EDI support due to constantly evolving regulatory requirements (Customs), changes in trading partner relationships, company consolidations and the introduction of diverse automation tools. Additionally, EDI must be tested at every terminal due to the limitations of legacy terminal operating systems. Advent’s Centralized EDI System enables the MTO to escape this cycle of problems by centralizing EDI without the cost and risk of replacing their existing TOS.

 

 

Advent’s Centralized EDI System gives the customer the ability to have control over the EDI of multiple operations by allowing terminal operators to consolidate their EDI into one, centralized location. This solution significantly reduces skilled man-hours spent on EDI administration and development by individual terminals. It also significantly improves response time to any change requests for EDI solutions from customers, vendors or any other trading partners.
