ETS / REIMS Consultancy

Are you an ETS or REIMS user? If so then let us help you to get the most out of your ETS or REIMS system. If like most companies you receive EDI orders and send EDI invoices and one or two other EDI messages then your ETS/REIMS system is just coasting. So how can you really make it earn is keep?

  • Extend messaging through the supply chain - Large suppliers are probably e-Commerce enabled and small suppliers can be brought onboard at very low cost.
  • e-Invoicing - New EU legislation is opening the door to innovative and cost effective products and services that will allow you to do away with paper invoices.
  • Integration - How many of you still receive, print and then re-enter your documents manually, whether via EDI or from your own webstore. It shouldn't be necessary? Even where the end system makes integration impossible - it is almost always possible to enter the order into a spreadsheet - which in turn makes the manual entry process much easier. more...

These are just a few of the opportunities that could be unlocked with a little time and effort. In many cases you will not require any additional software. In some cases a simple open source product, a minor piece of bespoke programming or a web-service will provide you with extended capabilities. In almost all cases ETS/REIMS can be extended to meet your requirements.

Do I need to upgrade to REIMS? It all depends what you want to achieve. REIMS does provide new processing options that may meet specific requirements. It is also essential for access to the IBM network - if you require full end-to-end status reporting. If this is not essential then there are alternative means of connecting. Added content types like XML may incur additional costs. If your current version of ETS supports objects then adding XML functionality can be achieved at very little additional cost.

Why Shared Skills? Our consultants all have many years of experience with the ETS and REIMS products, but are 100% independent in terms of the advice we will give you. Whilst we are resellers of JCommerce, we will only advise you to switch from ETS/REIMS if you have a solid business or technical reason for doing so. Our independence means we will always give you unbiased advise as to your best way forward.

Free e-Commerce Audit One of our e-Commerce consultants will arrange to provide you with a totally free audit of your existing system. We will also deliver a report summarising your current position, with recommendations where applicable

We have also found our 2/3-day training course to be very popular. We provide this onsite, using your live system. Given access to your systems for a couple of hours on the day before the course commences, we find that we can tailor the course to your specific requirements.
