EDS - Electronic Delivery Solution

Appsource Feature Upvote

Define dynamically what is sent to whom, when and how

Every company sends a large number of invoices and other business documents by traditional post every day. Despite the arrival of digitization in many business areas, the dispatch of documents is still stuck in old structures.

On the way to the digital future, business documents should also be sent digitally, also because of the high costs for postage and material - with EDS, the Simova Extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central-based ERP systems.

Highlights

EDS offers these advantages.

  • Significant cost savings by dispensing with postage and material

  • Electronic invoice data exchange through ZUGFeRD & XRechnung connection

  • Fast return on investment thanks to short implementation times

  • No loss of personal customer contact thanks to personalized emails

  • Ease of use and configuration of the extension directly from Business Central

  • Uniform layout and professional appearance

  • Acceleration of order processing through automation of work steps

  • Dynamic configuration of XML schemas in the Business Central interface

  • Customization of recipient information - only send relevant information

  • Increased transparency through the possible integration into our DMS solution

Easy integration and application

The EDS solution is integrated as a fact box in Business Central. This can be used to send a document directly from the Business Central system. In addition, the desired shipping information is displayed for each receipt. The overview is never lost, as all shipping information is recorded uniformly in the system.

Dynamic configuration of XML schemas

EDS in combination with the XSD tool is the first and only Business Central extension that enables dynamic configuration of XML schemas in the Business Central interface - without any programming effort.

Different output types

The conventional dispatch takes place with most companies per email. However, this is not the only EDS dispatch method, instead further output methods such as FTP, file storage or web service transmissions can be carried out.

XML standard formats: ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and other standards

An electronic exchange of invoice data is possible through ZUGFeRD & XRechnung default schemas. The EDS solution can not only send PDF attachments, reports from Business Central can also be added as Word or Excel via configuration for sending. Furthermore, attachments can be sent from the file system or directly from the DMS by Simova solution can be added.

If XML ports are required, they can simply be attached as an object type from Business Central. This broad spectrum enables many possibilities to deliver the desired file / document form to the recipient.

Manual or automatic dispatch

If the dispatch is to be fully automated, this can also be implemented with the EDS by Simova solution.

Whether it is a change or posting a document (e.g. sending the order confirmation after the change from an offer), the EDS is integrated into the process and automatically sends the necessary documents.

The process can thus take place completely in the background, which means that internal resources can focus on topics other than document dispatch.

Templates for sending emails

Customizable e-mail templates are available for sending e-mails. If the documents are to be sent by e-mail, personalized e-mail templates can be set up directly in Business Central. These contain freely configurable placeholders that are filled directly from the system. If, for example, the customer name, the invoice number and the due date are to be specified when the invoice is sent, this can simply be added to the template. The information is filled in automatically and directly from Business Central when sending.

Send documents from the DMS automatically and based on rules

Use our EDS solution to automatically send documents from the Document Management System (DMS) easily and conveniently based on definable rules.

The Simova extension "DMS to EDS" enables you to send documents directly from the DMS solution integrated in Business Central.
