Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Direct electronic communication is possible with Blish-Mize. We have a direct telephone line for our Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) customers to access 24 hours a day, seven days a week for their electronic transactions. Transmitting data electronically, also known as EDI, is extremely efficient and allows data to be transmitted from one computer to another without having to input the data once you have received it. Your computer system will take the data and update your pricing, inventory and other fields it is instructed to update.

Blish-Mize EDI transactions: • Accept purchase orders • Transmit invoices • Transmit price changes

• Transmit promotional pricing • Maintain item information

Why use online ordering?

• For accuracy and speed. Transactions are electronic so data does not have to be entered. There is no waiting for paperwork. • To receive information on price changes and promotions. • To receive your invoice via EDI and know what is being shipped before your merchandise arrives. • To place EDI orders at your convenience. Our computer is online 24 hours per day, seven days per week. A computer system that has the capability to communicate with Blish-Mize will add efficiencies to your store in the areas of inventory management, price and margin control, receiving cost and much more.
