OpenText Freeway Professional Supports Seamless Exchange of
Crucial EDI Messages
WATERLOO, Ontario, Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™
(NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTEX), the global leader in Enterprise
Information Management (EIM), today announced that Nichirin UK
Limited is using OpenText Freeway Professional, part of OpenText
Business Network, to help meet partner and customer demand with a
stable, reliable, and easy-to-use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
solution.
Nichirin, a subsidiary of the Japanese Nichrin Group,
manufactures and sells automotive hoses to global automotive
companies. Many of Nichirin's customers adhere to
industry-recognized and individual EDI standards in their supply
chain to exchange messages and documents between companies, without
manual re-keying of information. To continue to do business with
existing customers with increasingly strict quality standards, and
to expand its trading partner network and customer base, Nichirin
needed a powerful EDI solution that could help meet these
demands.
One of Nichirin's largest customers used OpenText as its EDI
provider, and recommended the solution to Nichirin. Nichirin
ultimately deployed Freeway Professional as an on-premises solution
configured for various key EDI message types, including those
required to supply its biggest customer, integrating the company
seamlessly with Nichirin's bespoke back-office platform. With
standard integration formats, Freeway provides a reusable
configuration template that can be used to quickly connect future
trading partners to Nichirin's network. The ease of use and
reliability of the solution has helped Nichirin deliver on time and
in quantity to its customers.
"User feedback has been wholly positive. The Freeway
Professional screens are intuitive and easy to use," said
Richard Nuttall, Senior Plant
Manager at Nichirin. "Data comes in and users find it easy to run
that data into our other systems. Equally, sending outbound EDI
messages is straightforward. You don't need to be an IT specialist
to use it, meaning we can concentrate on what we do best."
OpenText Freeway Professional provides a comprehensive audit
trail, enabling Nichirin to easily track and resolve any problems
that occur in the EDI process and to help meet industry quality
standards with confidence. With the solution, Nichirin maintains a
single, secure connection to the OpenText Trading Grid™ Messaging
Service, reducing the risk of communication errors with
partners.
"We know from the positive experience of working with OpenText
that, should our customers require any changes to the messaging or
labels, OpenText will quickly make those changes, with little or no
disruption," said Richard. "Should any of our customers mandate
further use of EDI, we will turn to the knowledgeable experts at
OpenText once again."
OpenText Freeway Professional is part of the OpenText EIM
platform, which is designed to enable organizations to discover and
manage information to spur growth and innovation and decrease time
to competitive advantage. The platform consists of comprehensive
