E.D.I (Electric Data Interchange)
Boot Barn is committed to utilizing EDI technology with its vendors.
- Its use is encouraged to adopt a streamlined, integrated system for processing purchase orders, invoices, and advanced shipment notifications (ASNs), as opposed to relying on manual methods.
- By implementing EDI and using automatic replenishment systems, we aim to streamline and enhance the efficiency of our ordering process.
- EDI will reduce the potential for lost or inaccurate orders by offering us improved visibility and tracking of data flow.
- To maximize these improvements, ensure there are no discrepancies between purchase orders and invoices, and deliver orders on time as specified.
