EDI VAN Annual Budget

Many companies are planning their next year's annual budget soon.  This is a good time to revisit your current EDI VAN bills and determine if you are paying too much.  For those that are paying too much, you might be able to shave some cents off each KC. 

Some "cents" you say.  Sure!  Remember that a KC (Kilo-Character) is 1000 characters.  If you are exchanging 10,000 KCs a month at 10 cents per KC, that is a total bill of $1000/mo.  Trimming that down to 8 cents per KC would lower your bill to $800/mo.  Which is a saving of $2400 a year. 

Ah, now does it make sense? 

Some companies also offer tiered pricing.  This means, the more data you exchange, the lower the price per KC.  If you are interested in lowering your VAN bill, then fill-out the Jobisez EDI VAN form to find out what you could be paying per KC.  The form will ask only for your Name, Email Address and Number of KCs traded last month. 

After entering this information, you will receive an email stating the cost per KC and the advantages you would get from a tiered-1 VAN.  If you like the price, then you will receive an Agreement and we can get the ball rolling. 

Lowering your VAN bill is one of the easier things you can do to meet your company's budget constraints.
