Case Study: Suture Express achieves faster order processing and improved supplier collaboration with Accellos

Provides Cutting Edge Customer Service and Seals Relationships with Wound Closure Manufacturers

Suture Express, a specialty distributor of wound closure products for the healthcare industry, needed a better way to handle growing EDI requirements from hospital customers and to eliminate painful manual order entry. Its previous EDI setup required printing orders from the translator and rekeying them into the ERP system, creating errors, extra labor, and slow purchase-order processing.

Accellos implemented AccellosOne EDI for Microsoft Dynamics GP to automate sales order and purchase order processing directly into Great Plains. The solution cut purchase-order creation from about four hours to 20 minutes, increased order processing throughput by 20%, virtually eliminated stock-outs, and improved customer and supplier relationships through accurate automated invoicing and reporting.
