“The true measure of satisfaction for our customers and partners is represented by the fact that we no longer receive EDI-related complaints. The best signal is silence from our internal and external customers.” Pierpaolo Crovetti, ICT Director of Brembo.

“Electronic data exchange is vital to the success of business processes in the automotive industry, and we work with over 100 business partners,” said Christian Fischer, Nemak IT Director Nemak Europe & China. “We needed a strong, reliable, competent, and experienced SAP partner to help us implement a fully outsourced global B2B integration service.” After evaluating five potential vendors, Nemak selected Crossgate because they could provide professional B2B methodology and experience as well as a well-developed repository of ready to-run B2B mappings, a strong SAP relationship, and 24/7/365 support.

Common Issues Addressed by Crossgate:

• B2B Consolidation – Most organizations have grown through mergers & acquisitions and have acquired a myriad of B2B integration technology.  As companies look to consolidate their processes and even ERP environments across the globe, Crossgate is eliminating the traditional and expensive EDI migration projects for both OEMs and suppliers.
  
  
• Supply Chain Visibility - Increase supply chain visibility through supplier collaboration solutions including Vendor Managed Inventory and SCOR performance models. Simplify scorecards with key suppliers and logistics partners to meet MMOG/LE reporting requirements.
  
  
• Small Partner Integration - For smaller trading partners, the barriers to connectivity are daunting: they simply don’t have the time, expertise or resources to set up an EDI translator and maintain it. As a result, over 80% of trading partners are forced to maintain paper-based transactions, which are slower, significantly more expensive, and much more prone to errors—which, in turn, slow them down even more. Crossgate provides multiple solutions for small partner integration including the “Come As you Are” managed service, Crossgate Networx, and Crossgate Client.  For more information visit Small Partner Connectivity.
