Case Study: Bolgers achieves automated EDI, reduced manual processing and improved forecasting with Data Interchange

EDI solution facilitates multiple trading partner connections

Bolgers, Ireland’s largest manufacturer of fabricated sheet-metal products (400 employees; customers include Perkins, Caterpillar, FG Wilson and BAE Systems), needed a reliable way to meet differing customer EDI requirements for forecasts, orders and delivery information. Their legacy scheduling system could not automate these flows, creating heavy manual work and a risk of errors, so they engaged Data Interchange to find a scalable solution.

Data Interchange consolidated Bolgers’ trading-partner connections onto its Odex Enterprise platform and Dinet Integration Network, providing a single managed EDI connection and automating document flows. The result was major reductions in manual processing and costs, fewer errors, better resource allocation and improved visibility of long-term forecasts, enabling more accurate planning and greater operational efficiency.
