EDI Processing

EDI processing / UCC 128 or GS1-128 labels

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) allows you as the customer to receive purchase orders direct from an associated buyer, which in turn can be forwarded to Westset Logistics for processing. Once the order has been completed, our trained representatives can transmit via EDI system access an advanced shipment notice (ASN), back to your buyers system.  Using an EDI system reduces paperwork to process your order. EDI systems are now being used by most large retailers, which require providing UCC 128 labels, also known as GS1-128 labels.  These labels provide your trading partner shipment information in relation to the advance shipment notice (ASN).  These labels identify you as a vendor and contain carton or pallet contents and store information. Westset Logistics follows all guidelines in compliance with vendors that choose to utilize this form of purchasing and shipment methods.

eCommerce Fulfillment

Many small or newly established eCommerce companies prefer to keep costs down by handling all aspects of their business; orders, payments and shipment. However, this leaves little room for expansion. As the business grows so do the demands for storage area, order processing and fulfillment. Outsourcing on the other hand, allows companies to expand, focus on their core business and provide excellent customer service.

Hiring another organization to handle your fulfillment can be extremely beneficial for a number of reasons, some of which are explained below in more detail.

Although expanding your business is essential for your company’s success, outgrowing your storage space can be problematic, interrupting business and jeopardizing the quality of service for your current customers. Further, finding a new warehouse to cater for your personal needs can be time consuming and costly. Outsourcing your fulfillment however is flexible, allowing you to expand without the worry of storage space, more employees, equipment and other warehousing essentials, all of which add enormous costs.

While your company may lack shipping expertise, required in order to process the increased volume of sales, handling order spikes which demand quick and efficient processing and shipping can also have a negative effect on business. Outsourcing however, enables you to access the most up-to-date order management software, computer hardware and warehousing functions operated by expert staff, who will ensure that shipment continues uninterrupted and processed with the utmost accuracy.

Many small companies waste time and money trying to control shipping when their efforts would be better served focusing on their core business, improving their company’s reputation and expanding their clientele. The outsourced organization on the other hand, would deal with all aspects of shipping, from packaging, tracking and returns, in the mean time you can improve your product line, website and promote your business to different markets.

A newly established eCommerce business may not have the experience required in order to ensure that fulfillment is carried out using expert methodology. This could lead to shipment errors, hurting the company’s credibility and sales. A fulfillment center however allows your company to operate using only the highest standards of service for your customers. Additional services could be incorporated such as web based inventory, call center fulfillment and tracking, making the purchase experience for your clients all the more easy and enjoyable.

Perhaps you are considering expansion outside the US, yet shipping over international borders is expensive. Fulfillment companies are able to facilitate international business due to their negotiated rates with other carriers. Further, fulfillment companies will have previous experience needed to ensure that your international business is carried out in the most cost and time effective manner.

Businesses can rest assured that their fulfillment needs are being carried out with utmost accuracy and efficiency.
