    DIG document flow

    Complete digitization of purchasing

    With interdisciplinary expertise and experience in eProcurement, invoice receipt and electronic data interchange (EDI), DIG is the ideal partner for tailor-made business digitization.DIG is the ideal partner for tailor-made business digitization with interdisciplinary expertise and experience in eProcurement, invoice receipt and electronic data interchange (EDI).

    Flexible electronic data interchange

    In reality, digital business processes require more than just classic EDI routes, which are only profitable above a certain size. This leaves the great potential of automation untapped! That's why we at DIG talk about flexible FDI instead of rigid EDI interfaces. For an incomparably practical, electronic document flow.

    The three communication channels

    As FDI (flexible data interchange), three communication channels facilitate a sustainable increase in efficiency along the entire purchase-to-pay chain (from order to invoice). This means that every company can use a fully automated document flow, regardless of the size of its partners and the format of the incoming documents - for a fast and sustainable realization of valuable efficiency potential that not only saves costs but also increases supplier relationships in terms of security of supply! We cover the purchase area with ideally customizable eProcurement systems!

    EDI: full convenience for everyone

    100 percent automation for everyone involved! The optimal solution for customer-supplier relationships from 500 documents per year or documents with many items.

    OCR: high acceptance

    The solution for simpler vouchers from at least 50 suppliers. Automated reading of voucher contents with an easy-to-train system for a degressive error rate.

    eInvoice: EDI at low cost

    Public standards such as ebInterface and ZUGFeRD provide an inexpensive way to full EDI convenience. Profitable from five suppliers with the same format.

    Automate document flow efficiently

    The term "document flow" always refers to the dynamic communication between two customer systems, which triggers a process in the other system depending on the process scope (purchase-to-order or purchase-to-pay) by means of an order, order confirmation, invoice, delivery schedule or delivery bill:
    For example, an order is followed by an order confirmation - in the best case fully automated without any manual activity. To make this possible with all partners, regardless of their size, DIG makes data exchange more flexible with FDI instead of EDI.

    Automation brings security of supply

    Pandemics, geopolitical conflicts or even coincidences such as the blockade of the Suez Canal by a container ship in 2021 put the stability of supply chains to the test. Direct supplier communication in real time and faster document processing strengthen supplier relationships and create clear time advantages when it comes to securing scarce stocks! We will be happy to send you more information.

    More flexibility: FDI creates clear advantages

    With three channels in routing (EDI, OCR and eInvoice), DIG enables new markets and trading partners to be connected quickly and efficiently under the name FDI - flexible data interchange, thus achieving positive effects on the entire supply chain. The fast and error-free processing of data leads to the consistent use of better payment terms through discounts and rebates on the buyer side. Delivery times can also be shortened thanks to the fast information flow and, last but not least, the purely digital document flow helps to reduce CO2 emissions by avoiding paper and printing.

    More power in the procurement process

    Paper-based invoice receipt, costs due to complaints, cash discount losses and more - there are many reasons for exchanging receipts and business documents via the DIG portal with fully automated invoice processing! With three transmission channels, a suitable solution is available to all participants. From classic EDI for partners with a correspondingly high business volume to the two mailbox options (PDF format and standardized XML documents such as ebInterface and ZUGFeRD). DIG Consulting will clarify for you which channel is the most suitable.

    Depending on the specific requirements, companies usually start with one or two channels; additional transmission channels can be set up if required. All common transmission protocols such as SOAP web service, HTTPS, SFTP, X.400, Peppol, email, OFTP2 and many moreare used. Individual routings are also supported on request.
    All connections are encrypted. Protocols that do not support native encryption are protectedvia IPsec VPN tunnels. Depending on the document, a defined connection (interface) is established. A defined connection (interface) is established to the customer for each document to be transmitted (e.g. order) and this is then connected to the suppliers or vice versa.

    Examples of practical use

    With the flexibly selectable routing channels of FDI (EDI, OCR or eInvoice), document flows such as the creation, dispatch and processing of order confirmations are continuously automated in practice. Complex orders for highly individualized products, which are defined by design data from a document management system (DMS), can also be carried out automatically. The communication of catalog data and its translation into the customer system is also a practical example. Finally, the incoming invoice portal and the portal for e-invoices create all the prerequisites for subsequently being able to map the entire purchase-to-pay process.

    • Translation (for format-independent data communication)
    • Data reconciliation (checking defined parameters, also known as clearing)
    • Data preparation (or preparing for problem-free posting of the document in the target system)
    • Document flow management (fully automatic transfer to the target system or defined, manual clarification in the event of errors or inconsistencies in individual documents)
