West Coast Distribution uses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) technology in order to maximize efficiency, optimize operations, and reduce costs.  EDI is defined as the structured transmission of data between two or more organizations by electronic means.  EDI is literally the transfer of data from one computer to another and is particularly useful when one business partner is trying to give information to another business partner. 

By using Electronic Data Interchange, we are able to decrease administrative costs that are commonly incurred in business operations. We then transfer these savings to our customers.  As technologies continue to replace outdated business practices, it has become apparent that electronically transmitting documents in a standardized format can increase speed, accuracy, integrity, and reliability of data. Less paper and discontinued use of old practices have led to continual savings for both West Coast Distribution and the company’s clients.

Cutting Edge Technology:  E-Portal and RF Barcoding

West Coast Distribution’s e-Portal is integrated with our Warehouse Management System. The e-Portal provides clients with access to real-time information anytime, anyplace.  With the e-Portal, clients can manage their orders, search and view inventory, create customized reports, view invoices, and more.

Radio Frequency (RF) and barcoding technology allow West Coast Distribution to capture important information in real time. RF barcoding also results in less paper consumption and greater levels of accuracy for the company’s clients.

Electronic Data Interchange has made a substantial difference in the quality of service we offer our clients - who are ultimately looking for efficient, transparent, and dependable warehousing management systems and solutions.
