EHG E-procurement: Automated material procurement

Data records replace paper

With the EDI and OCI e-procurement solutions, you simplify your material procurement and ease your purchasing department's workload. Your enterprise resource planning system (ERP) is electronically connected with that of EHG. This makes time-consuming searches for documents, and data entry a thing of the past. Launching the system takes place just as efficiently as subsequent procurement and data is transmitted error-free via the secure connection.

E-Procurement with EDI & OCI - Benefits of digital material procurement

The connection of OCI and EDI reduces your administrative effort. As a customer of EHG, the efficiency of your procurement processes is increased, while your error rate is reduced.

OCI: Lean e-procurement solution

With the Open Catalog Interface (OCI), order items from the EHG online shop are transferred to your ERP system at the touch of a button. Ordering is simple, thanks to the helpful search function in the online shop and saved favourites for frequently needed items. Individually agreed prices or discounts are automatically applied. The order itself will be placed in the same way as before.

Accelerated ordering process
Fewer data entry errors and complaints
24/7 access to over 20,000 items with updated prices

EDI: Fully digitalised ordering processes

With Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), your entire order process is paperless and takes place directly from your ERP system. The automated procedure shortens the time required from order placement to receipt of the goods, meaning your team has more time available for productive activities. Important documents, such as order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices, are always up to date and available in your ERP system.
