# Stratos ERP Partners Case Study

## Overview
Discover how Stratos ERP Partners achieved supply chain agility by seamlessly integrating Orderful's modern EDI platform with NetSuite.

## Business Challenge
As a leading NetSuite consultant, Stratos ERP Partners aims to maximize the value of a client’s ERP through tailored implementations, integration, and process optimization. However, clunky EDI platforms throttle supply chain agility, miring clients in:

1. Lengthy 6+ month integration processes
2. Protracted 6+ month partner onboarding timelines
3. No visibility into EDI transaction flows and errors
4. Over reliance on vendor troubleshooting and modifications
5. Unpredictable volume-based transaction fees
6. Unacceptable customer service

## Solution
By integrating Orderful’s modern EDI platform into NetSuite and enterprise-wide workflows with Celigo, Stratos established the foundation to help clients:

1. Slash new EDI partner onboarding to as little as four weeks
2. Resolve integration issues via Celigo without support delays
3. Avoid variable transaction charges via predictable pricing

- 50%+ quicker integration process
- 50%+ faster trading partner onboarding speed
- Accelerated growth and competitive differentiation
- Increased client retention via a self-service model
- Intuitive, real-time transaction visibility
- Expanded integration capabilities beyond NetSuite
- Fixed EDI platform costs
- Exceptional, same-day customer support

## Integrating Scalable EDI with Orderful
As clients scaled their business and became more reliant on supply chain agility and coordination, Anderson and his team identified the need for EDI capabilities to seamlessly connect with trading partners. Instead, they found fragmented EDI platforms riddled with setup delays, opaque transaction tracing, unrelenting vendor dependency, and variable volume-based pricing stymied progress at every turn.

By integrating Orderful’s modern EDI platform with NetSuite via Celigo, Anderson and his team streamlined connectivity for their clients and equipped them with visibility, control, and velocity throughout their decentralized supply web allowing for better EDI.

## Increased Velocity By 50%
Onboarding Orderful’s flexible EDI platform immediately slashed partner integration timelines. Rather than a typical 6+ month ordeal, working with Orderful helped the company achieve partner integration in just four weeks – over 50% faster. The addition of Orderful introduced a new level of predictability, which helped the business reach new levels of supply chain agility and accelerate growth.

## Central Platform Fuels Enhanced Client Experience
Integrating Orderful’s EDI platform into Clients’ existing Celigo workflows preserves continuity while introducing an intuitive way to manage external-facing supply chain data interchange. By retaining control to monitor activity, apply custom business rules, and make modifications without vendor delays, clients gain the flexibility to tailor trading relationships to their precise needs.

## Co-Innovation Fuels Mutual Growth
Beyond jointly delivering value to Stratos’ clients, often the two companies exchange ideas to spur product enhancements– co-innovating new features and functionality through collaborative design processes.

## Poised to Extend Platform Capabilities into New Territory
Thus far, Stratos has focused primarily on integrating Orderful for its NetSuite clients’ EDI needs. However, the firm envisions expanding its use of Orderful’s platform to meet similar requirements across other major ERPs it may support in the future.

## Partnering to Unleash Supply Chain Agility with Modern EDI
As ubiquitous as EDI remains across modern supply chains, traditional solutions have left even the savviest organizations struggling to efficiently onboard partners and gain visibility into the lifeblood of their operations. Stratos ERP Partners and Orderful bridge this gap for NetSuite users by integrating centralized, scalable EDI capabilities.
