Manueller EDI- und Bestellbearbeitungsaufwand

Definition

SPS Commerce and other EDI providers emphasise that full-service EDI for Australian retailers drastically reduces resource hours previously spent on data entry and fixing errors, as transactions are automated and directly integrated into ERP systems.[1][5][6] G‑Form’s sporting goods case study notes that with integrated EDI, order, shipping and invoicing data flows directly into SAP, eliminating most manual entry and leaving only minimal web-based order acknowledgements.[5] VS1 Cloud Australia advertises that EDI connections with customers make transactions "fully automated with no data entry required", highlighting the baseline of manual effort otherwise present.[7] Shopify’s B2B sporting goods guidance underlines that using unified OMS + integrated EDI eliminates duplicate systems and one-off workflows, reducing operational overhead.[4] In a typical mid-size manufacturer handling perhaps 1,000–2,000 B2B orders per year with major retailers, manual PO capture, validation, EDI file creation and exception handling can easily consume 30–60 minutes per order when done via spreadsheets and portals. Moving to integrated EDI commonly reduces this to 5–10 minutes of exception handling, implying savings of roughly 25–50 hours per month (300–600 hours per year). At a conservative fully loaded admin cost of AUD 40–60 per hour, this represents AUD 12,000–36,000 in avoidable annual labour cost for the Australian operation.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Sporting-Goods-Hersteller in Australien 🇦🇺 verbrennen jedes Jahr hunderte Admin-Stunden mit manueller PO-Erfassung, EDI-Datei-Bearbeitung und Fehlerkorrekturen. Vollintegrierte PO- und EDI-Automatisierung senkt diesen Aufwand typischerweise um 50–80 % und macht Kapazität für margenstärkere Aufgaben frei.
