eBusiness

Recognising the strategic importance of electronic Business-to-Business (B2B) communications the InterBulk Group has embedded the Chemical Industry Data eXchange (CIDX) XML message standards into the core of its SwiftXP ERP system.

We have many years of experience working with B2B links and currently over 70% of our transport orders are received and processed electronically. We can quickly establish B2B connections with Customers or Suppliers using secure FTP or HTTPS Internet protocols. As well as supporting direct B2B links, SwiftXP is also connected at message level to Elemica, the Chemical industries eBusiness hub, Transwide, the leading Logistics industry hub, and to GXS.

Tradernet to facilitate the exchange of legacy EDIFACT and ANSI EDI messages.

The InterBulk Group appreciates that in order to generate the maximum business value from B2B links the systems must be developed way beyond the initial booking message. Hence SwiftXP supports B2B automation all the way through from the initial receipt of an order, order confirmation, shipment status updates, final delivery confirmation to electronic invoicing and receipt of payment.
