Common Issues Addressed by Crossgate:

• Customer Flexibility – Crossgate not only eliminates the traditional and expensive EDI migration projects, our solutions also help organizations simplify connectivity so your organization can gain competitive advantage through flexibility. No longer do you have to impose standards and lengthy integration projects on your customers; instead, you can focus on expanding visibility and value.
  
  
• Supply Chain & Transportation Visibility - Increase supply chain and transportation visibility through partner collaboration solutions including Vendor Managed Inventory, Logistics Visibility and SCOR performance models. Simplify scorecards with key suppliers and logistics partners.
   
  
• Electronic Invoicing – Each local tax authority maintains different requirements for legal electronic invoices.  For global logistics companies, this creates a complex set of local regulations that must be built into their B2B integration solution. Crossgate currently manages compliance in over 38 countries around the world including Germany, Mexico, Italy, France, etc…The solution simplifies both outbound customer invoices as well as processing inbound Accounts Payable invoices from global suppliers.
  
  
• 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.
