“Qwik-Link” e-Commerce EDI Subscription Service. This service involves partnerships with Internet EDI specialists, GCommerce + Corcentric, and is available to all DMS Automotive & HD Truck Customers. Other industry-specific DMS customers will be offered this e-Commerce EDI service in the very near future.
DMS’ “Qwik-Link” service provides major cost-reduction benefits to a WD’s back-end administrative functions. By automating the WD’s Purchasing, Receiving, Invoice Reconciliation, & Accounts Payable processes, “Qwik-Link” also saves substantial labor costs and provide more accurate and timely integrated accounting capabilities for DMS customers.
The “Qwik-Link” service offers EDI connectivity to over 800 Suppliers including many major Automotive Parts manufacturer partners: AC/Delco, Affinia, Cardone, Mahle, Motorcraft, Edelbrock, Federal Mogul, Gates, Goodyear, Holley, Standard Motor Products, Tenneco, and Valvoline.
Features of DMS “Qwik-Link” include a graphical EDI Dashboard that shows in real-time:
► Purchase Orders
“Qwik-Link” - Purchase Orders (850 Documents) will be sent immediately to Suppliers by a Web Service using XML data packets over an Internet AS2 or SFTP protocol.
► Purchase Order Acknowledgements (POA's)
“Qwik-Link” - POA’s (997 Documents) are returned promptly to your DMS System from Qwik-Link by participating Suppliers. Some Suppliers may offer additional discounts for Internet EDI-placed orders.
► Advanced Shipping Notices
“Qwik-Link” - automatically posts all Supplier Advanced Shipping Notices (856 Documents) into your DMS Receiving Application by PO # and line item facilitating the use of DMS’ RF Wireless Barcoding application so that automated receiving will be accomplished. The ASN allows a WD to see when and what’s been shipped on a Purchase Order before it actually arrives at the warehouse.
► Electronic Invoices
“Qwik-Link” - receives detailed line item invoices (810 Documents) from the Supplier and matches them against a 3-way Invoice Reconciliation process before automatically posting them to the DMS Accounts Payable application. A specific invoice variance value will be established for each Supplier to allow “close” and exact invoices to be posted without human involvement and if there is a variance, an automated entry is made to an Inventory Variance Account in the DMS General Ledger. If invoices fall outside of this pre-determined variance value, they will be presented in an exception report for Management to review before posting to Accounts Payable. Detailed Supplier invoices in a PDF format are retained on the WD’s DX Document Center as long as required.
► Supplier Payments
“Qwik-Link” - allows the WD’s Payables staff to select invoices for payment to Suppliers by using laser-generated checks. All Supplier payment history will be maintained in the DX Command Center.
