Rapid integration. Just connect, manage and roll out..
Fully managed solutions
IT upheaval is an apprehensive time for businesses, with downtime usually having a detrimental effect on output. Therefore the impact and disturbance of implementing new in-house systems can often deter companies from making the decision to ‘on-board’ or 'roll-out' an EDI project.
It is for this reason at First B2B, we believe there has been a major shift from in-house software models to internet based solutions. This shift has been the driving force behind our offering.
Fully Integrated solutions delivered via cloud technology
With cloud technology, a business eliminates the need to invest and maintain software and hardware that allow business processes, such as electronic document exchange. Instead, they take advantage of a superior and shared infrastructure and only pay for what they need. And we are not new to this, we have been delivering the service in this way since 2002.
Delivering our proven and robust solutions via cloud technology as a fully managed service enables us to provide the features and benefits of a purpose built in-house system to any size organisation, but without the enormous IT investment and with minimal IT disruption.
Designed with you in mind!
At First B2B we believe that to propose the best solution for a business, we must first of all understand the processes and capabilities within it, as well of those of its trading community. It is only then that we begin to map a solution that will integrate you with your trading community in the most cost effecitve and efficient way. One size of e-trading solution will not fit all companies.
Our fully managed solutions range from basic e-invoicing to fully managed supply chain integration. All of which are scalable and tailored to meet your precise needs. Our service includes all promotional work, community management, message translation, testing, integration, validation and day-to-day running. Leaving you to focus on your business, confident your customers or trading partners are receiving the highest-quality service.
