Today we are thrilled to introduce our latest product addition, Celigo B2B Manager. This new product is designed to transform the way your organization manages EDI and B2B integrations, offering unprecedented efficiency, visibility, and control.

In the fast-paced world of business-to-business (B2B) trading, efficiently managing electronic data interchange (EDI) and integrating various business systems is crucial for seamless operations. Onboarding new trading partners, managing day-to-day trading activities while adhering to strict compliance requirements, and ensuring timely and accurate data exchange is a big challenge. 

Our customers have frequently faced challenges when using alternative EDI solutions, whether it be fully managed service providers, traditional iPaaS solutions, or incomplete modern EDI offerings. Traditional iPaaS solutions, known for their complexity in building and managing EDI, often have strained and limited in-house developer resources. Fully managed services, on the other hand, reduce the operational burden, but eat into profits due to rising costs with increasing transaction volumes. The absence of visibility and control in B2B transactions also frequently leads to chargebacks and degrades trading partner relationships. Moreover, many modern EDI solutions, recently gaining popularity, are incomplete, requiring customers to work with multiple platforms to fully automate their EDI processes end-to-end. This approach not only increases operational burdens by necessitating the management of multiple software systems and vendors, but also complicates integration and hinders overall efficiency.

Enter Celigo B2B Manager, a product that addresses these challenges head-on, empowering your teams to self-manage B2B integrations with ease and precision.

Celigo B2B Manager provides:

1. Unified integration platform

• Comprehensive integration: With B2B Manager, Celigo customers can centrally manage both EDI-based and API-based B2B trading, as well as application-to-application integrations on a single platform, ensuring all your integration needs are met without the hassle of managing multiple systems.
• Scalable infrastructure: Designed to grow with your business, the underlying Celigo platform offers a scalable infrastructure that adapts to your increasing needs.

2. Streamlined trading partner integration

• Prebuilt trading partner connectors: Our customizable, prebuilt connectors feature document types built to trading partner requirements and centralized EDI profiles with built-in rules for validation. This simplifies the implementation process, ensures compliance with trading partner processing requirements, and reduces the effort required to integrate new trading partners.
• EDI – ERP integration templates: Fully customizable templates embedded with business logic support common use cases and automate your EDI integrations end-to-end between your trading partners and ERP, eliminating the need for custom development projects.

3. Enhanced visibility and control

• Centralized dashboard: Proactively fix issues by gaining real-time visibility into all transactions with our B2B/EDI dashboard. Benefit from automated reconciliation, error notifications, and functional acknowledgements.
• Self-service management: Empower your teams to build, manage, and monitor integrations efficiently, enabling faster issue resolution.

4. Cost reduction

• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): B2B Manager comes with a transparent and predictable pricing model based on the number of trading partners and document types. 
• Reduced EDI hours: Through efficiencies introduced into B2B management processes, your IT teams will spend less time managing day-to-day EDI.
• Reduced chargebacks: Automated validation against trading partner compliance requirements helps lower chargebacks.

5. Scale IT/EDI resources

• Optimize resources: Celigo B2B Manager is designed to reduce the burden on scarce IT and EDI resources by introducing efficiencies into EDI implementation and routine EDI management and monitoring processes, allowing you to grow your business with a smaller team of EDI experts.
• Flexibility for growth: Whether you choose to build integrations in-house or outsource the implementation to an EDI-certified implementation partner while managing ongoing operations in-house, our platform supports your growth strategy by providing the tools and flexibility needed to scale efficiently.

Celigo B2B Manager provides a unique combination of comprehensive integration capabilities, ease of use, and scalability. Unlike traditional EDI solutions that are costly and time-consuming to implement, our platform offers a modern, efficient, and cost-effective solution tailored to the needs of growing manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution companies.
