Digitalrep Implements B2B Cloud-based EDI for Office Depot

December 28, 2011

Digitalrep LLC has implemented its Business-to-Business (B2B) Cloud Services solution for Salt Communications, an integrated marketing agency and Office Depot, a top global supplier of office products and services.

“We’re able to manage tens of thousands of secure, electronic purchase order, order acknowledgement, shipping notice, and invoice documents for Office Depot every day, utilizing the latest electronic data interchange technology available, thanks to Digitalrep,” said Jim Crystal, co-founder at Salt Communications, in a statement.


Crystal said that Digitalrep has been a terrific technology partner of the company for more than five years, and the company depends on them every day.

Officials of Digitalrep said that the company’s software development team was required to pass strenuous EDI compliance testing by Office Depot to become a vendor partner.

Company officials pointed out that upon doing so, the Digitalrep team built, deployed, and currently hosts an Internet portal or “cloud service” that manages the flow of critical EDI documents for the retailer in a highly secure way.

According to company officials, Digitalrep’s B2B Cloud Services solution provides an AS2 “hub” that manages transactions securely and stores information in an industry standard SQL data warehouse.

“This isn’t simple EDI. We worked closely with the Salt Communications team to engineer a solution that enables Office Depot to create, manage, and track promotional programs, utilizing highly secure transactional processes,” said John Meaney, president of Digitalrep.

“We’re very pleased with the work our team has done, and proud to be a partner with both Salt Communications and Office Depot,” said Meaney.

Digitalrep LLC is the company that turns data into decisions. The company provides hosted solutions as well as licensed software for category management, data exchange, and pricing applications.
