About Our Customer
Northland Fulfillment is a warehousing and distribution service provider located in Toronto, Ontario. The company was born out of the infomercial business in 2000 and today it offers a one-stop-shop for its direct response and retail lines of business. The company has grown tremendously and continues to meet the demands of customers who rely on Northland to deliver products fast and efficiently.
Key Focus For This Project
EDI Order Management
The Issues To Resolve
In the retail industry, EDI is the required method of communication and being EDI compliant is a stringent requirement for suppliers and their 3PL partners. As a warehousing and distribution service provider, Northland Fulfillment needed to be able to accept orders and ship those orders to consumers across North America.
With EDI being so complex, it requires a disproportionate amount of resources for businesses such as Northland to support. They would rather not invest the time and expense in EDI when there are less expensive alternatives like Integral Group.
