"...the orders flow right into Sage 100..."
“Because the orders flow right into Sage 100 without any hands touching it, there is nothing to get lost. When I was assigned EDI management responsibilities, I thought the EDI Advantage modules were part of Sage 100. These modules don’t look or feel like third party products – the EDI products look exactly like Sage 100!“

Already using an integrated EDI solution?
EDI Advantage may significantly reduce your EDI costs.
Most businesses begin using EDI to enable sales opportunities, and many find that trading partner requirements tax their resources and their ability to provide what customers need. For relief, they might turn to an EDI communications provider (sometimes called a network or clearinghouse), for help, and some communications providers also offer ERP system integration. But what many Sage 100 users in this situation soon find is that this arrangement becomes more and more beneficial for the communications provider, and less and less beneficial for them as their use of EDI increases.
Making the switch to EDI Advantage can result in dramatic savings month after month because EDI Advantage:
- Adds EDI communications and translation, along with integration, right into Sage 100cloud
- Connects directly to any trading partner that offers direct connection
- Eliminates expensive per kilobyte or per transaction fees charged by service providers
- Gives you the freedom to choose the network (and network pricing) that works best for you, in the event that a trading partner does not offer direct connection.
"The process began to make sense when I started to talk to Kissinger."
“The process began to make sense when I started to talk to Kissinger. What I learned was…there are three ways to transmit this information. Not paying transaction fees by using, instead of a VAN, using an AS2 connection or using FTP seemed to be the best bet, which is what marries well with Sage 100. This is a product Kissinger has been involved in for many years. We were impressed with that.“

"We definitely made the right choice."
“The other guys did demos for us, but we just thought the process with EDI Advantage was simpler, and it really has been great. It just works the way it’s supposed to work. We needed it to be an easy process for our customer service person to use, and we wanted a smooth integration into sales order. Those were the two keys and EDI Advantage delivers on both. And working with Kissinger is great – they go above and beyond, and they’re always there to help us out when we need something. We definitely made the right choice.”
