Introducing The Jobisez EDI Dashboard

Progress continues at Jobisez LLC.  Our last post talked about how we increased the speed and file size (from 500KB to 10MB) of the Online Translator.  In this email we introduce your own EDI Dashboard on the Jobisez site.  On the Dashboard, you will be able to view the transactions you have processed using the Online Translator.  Please contact us if you have any suggestions as this Dashboard is a new functionality added to the website.

More enhancements coming soon!  Such as…

1. (Optionally) create FAs when a Transaction Set is processed.
2. Cross document lookup (ie. Look up an Order# or UPC# across all documents processed).
3. Business Intelligence:

1. Analytics on your EDI 852 data.
2. Tying the EDI 852, 830, 832 and 846 for JIT and CR.

4. Using Dropbox as a “hot” directory to process your EDI.  Then there would be no need for uploading files using the website.
5. Use a Contractor to build a “Jobisez map” which would create an output format that your organization desires.

 The EDI Online Translator is also very helpful with translating document types that you do not have a map for already.

More Upgrades to the to the EDI 852 to Excel Tool

Jobisez has added some additional improvements to the EDI 852 conversion to CSV tool.  See the "Improvements to the EDI 852 to Excel Tool" for previous upgrades.

As of February 9, 2014, the Tool also captures the CTP Pricing elements and the Pack and Inner-Pack on the PO4 segment.  These new elements are displayed in the CSV file, and you can manipulate these cells using Excel's features that you are already familiar with.

In addition to capturing these elements, the tool has been updated to email you the CSV file instead of displaying converted data on the webpage.  The email will contain your initial EDI file, as well as the converted file.  You can easily store both files together in your email system.

We are preparing to make several more changes in the near future, so keep watching this blog to be updated.  If you have any suggestions on improvements, please contact us.

Improvements to the EDI 852 to Excel Tool

Jobisez understands the necessity of understanding the EDI 852 Product Activity (POS) document.  We have defined the importance of this document in two of our blogs, What is the EDI 852 and Identifying Sales-Trends.

With this information, we created an Online Tool last year to create a CSV spreadsheet from an EDI 852 transaction.  This tool has been very popular and used quite often.

After careful analysis of the 852s being processed, we needed to add several more LIN qualifiers to the tool so it can be helpful to more companies.

With its new release today, the tool now looks for the following qualifiers in the LIN segment...
1.  UP - U.P.C. Consumer Package Code (1-5-5-1)
2.  UB - U.P.C. / EAN Case Code (2-5-5)
3.  ND - National Drug Code 
4.  UI - U.P.C. Consumer Package Code (1-5-5)
5.  UD - U.P.C. / EAN Consumer Package Code (2-5-5)
6.  IB - International Standard Book Number (ISBN)
7.  EN - European Article Number (EAN) (2-5-5-1)
8.  EO - GTIN-8
9.  UK - GTIN: U.P.C. / EAN Shipping Container Code (1-2-5-5-1)
10. VN - Vendor's (Seller's) Item Number
11. MG - Manufacturer's Part Number
12. VP - Vendor's (Seller's) Part Number
13. VC - Vendor's (Seller's) Catalog Number
14. VA - Vendor's Style Number
15. IN - Buyer's Item Number
16. PN - Company Part Number
17. BP -  Buyer's Part Number
18. PI - Purchaser's Item Code
19. CB - Buyer's Catalog Number
20. IT - Buyer's Style Number

Please feel free to post a comment on what other features you would like to see this tool do.  For instance, would you like the CTP values on the spreadsheet, or perhaps you would also like to see the Color and Size information too.

Faster is Better (Part 2)

As mentioned in our first "Faster is Better" posting, Jobisez LLC increased its bandwidth on August 25 to make your navigation through the jobisez.com site even quicker.

Using Analytic Tools, you can see that the Jobisez site is faster than 78% of the sites and pages load in 1.6 seconds.  You may ask yourself, "why or how does this affect me?"

Jobisez is primarily a research site for EDI intelligence.  We understand that your time is essential, and you do not need to wait for pages to load when you need to find an answer quickly.

To make your experience even better, we added a search box to each page, so you can search on any EDI related term you are looking for.

Let us know how we are doing or how we may be more helpful to you!

Faster is Better!

On May 11, 2011, Jobisez LLC bought and installed a new "stronger, better, faster" server to help your surfing and searching experience even better.

 

As you can tell from the graph (from Google Webmaster Tools,) you will notice that the time spent downloading a page dropped dramatically.  We aim to bring the most relevant EDI information to you as fast as possible.

 

We also just increased the bandwidth to make your surfing experience even quicker.  When those graphs become available, they will be posted on this blog too.

 

So just hang on, it's gonna be a fast ride!
