Business-to-business integration is vital to ensure the efficient, accurate and timely flow of information across internal data systems and external trading partners, but most B2B gateways are limited to handling only EDI or XML data. This ignores smaller trading partners that have not migrated to these technologies, forcing document exchange to be handled manually and thereby increasing operational costs. SEEBURGER's B2B Gateway bridges this gap while also accommodating all industry and regional-specific data standards and communication protocols, providing a single, easy-to-maintain solution that uniquely spans the entire supply chain.

• Reduced handling costs, achieved through end-to-end electronic transaction processing that eliminates manual data entry even for smaller partners. 
• Reduced inventory levels, with associated cash flow benefits, produced by the availability of up-to-the-minute information along the value chain.
• Faster transaction processing, resulting from automation of all processes and the elimination of bottlenecks associated with manual data entry. 
• Shorter lead times and faster time to market, made possible by the accelerated availability of information to all members of the supply chain.
• Reduced IT maintenance expenses, provided by a simpler infrastructure that eliminates point-to-point connections and multiple integration technologies.
