Cegedim e-business integration FAQs
What is Cegedim e-business?
Cegedim e-business is a division of Cegedim Group, a French technology company founded in 1969. Cegedim e-business specialises in B2B electronic data interchange (EDI) and e-invoicing solutions, helping businesses automate the exchange of commercial documents, purchase orders, invoices, delivery notices, and more, with their trading partners. They provide managed EDI services through a cloud-based platform, with particular strength in European markets where e-invoicing mandates are increasingly common.
What is EDI, and why do trading partners require it?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the electronic exchange of standardised business documents between trading partners. Major retailers and commercial buyers require EDI from their suppliers because it eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, speeds up order processing, and enables automated supply chain management. If you supply products to large retailers or commercial buyers, meeting their EDI requirements is typically a condition of doing business with them.
How does the Cegedim e-business + Unleashed integration work?
When a trading partner sends a purchase order via EDI through Cegedim e-business, that order is automatically created in Unleashed, with all order details populated without manual re-entry. As you fulfil the order in Unleashed, Cegedim e-business generates and transmits the required electronic documents (invoices, advance shipping notices) back to the trading partner. This creates a closed-loop electronic trading process with Unleashed as the operational system of record.
What types of documents does the integration handle?
The integration supports the core documents required for B2B electronic trading: inbound purchase orders (from trading partners into Unleashed), outbound invoices (from Unleashed to trading partners), and advance shipping notices/ASNs (from Unleashed to trading partners). The specific document types supported may vary by trading partner and region, contact Cegedim e-business for details on your specific requirements.
Do I need in-house EDI expertise to use Cegedim e-business?
No. Cegedim e-business provides a managed service, handling the technical complexity of EDI setup, document mapping, and trading partner connectivity. This means you can meet your trading partners' EDI requirements without needing an internal EDI team or specialist technical knowledge.
How does this integration reduce errors in order processing?
Manual re-entry of purchase order data from a trading partner's system into Unleashed is a significant source of errors, wrong quantities, wrong product codes, wrong delivery addresses. By automating this flow through Cegedim e-business, order data is transferred electronically and accurately, eliminating the risk of transcription errors and the time spent correcting them.
Is e-invoicing becoming mandatory in my market?
E-invoicing mandates are being introduced across many markets, particularly in Europe. France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and other EU countries have introduced or are introducing mandatory e-invoicing requirements for B2B transactions. If you trade in European markets, Cegedim e-business can help you meet these requirements. Contact Cegedim e-business directly for guidance on the specific requirements in your market.
