ProcureMART EDI Services

ProcureMART is a web-server where manufacturers and suppliers can link up and process purchasing orders and delivery details. By connecting to the server via Internet, Purchasing Orders (PO) can be sent and delivery details specified and confirmed without unnecessary paperwork or delay. On this single communication platform, the manufacturer can issue POs to different suppliers or seek tender submissions. Likewise, suppliers, once connected to the server, can access the manufacturer's PO status, delivery details or any updates. Therefore with ProcureMART, in-house operations of its users can be comprehensively rationalized through improved efficiency of transactional operation processing, faster operations and cost reductions.

This open E-Marketplace is called the "Centralized Hub" concept.Membership to Fujitsu's E-Marketplace is properly screen through to ensure the quality of its buyers and suppliers.

What is EDI?

The world is now a smaller place. Cyber technologies with the advent of the Internet made communications between people and businesses more productive and more instantaneous. Unbounded by the constraints of a physical world, business conducted in the cyber environment moves faster and covers wider. With this in mind, Fujitsu introduces the new communication tool for manufacturers and suppliers.

Gone will be the days when buyers and sellers chase each other for paper documentations and thus suffer delay in production due to improper documenting process and order procedures. ProcureMART serves to bridge buyer and seller through EDI via the Internet and provide a more efficient way to conduct business.

EDI is Electronic Data Interchange and allows businesses to exchange business messages between computers of different organizations via communication cables with standard protocols.
