Go-webEDI is a stand-alone electronic data interchange (EDI) solution by Descartes, designed to facilitate the electronic exchange of orders, despatch advices, invoices, and pallet labels between trading partners via a secure web browser interface. It operates through the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ (GLN), supporting multiple EDI message formats for industries such as Food, Health & Beauty, DIY, and more.
Once your trading partner sends an order, you will receive a notification email if you've configured your notification settings. Orders appear in your "Received Orders" folder in your Go-webEDI mailbox. You can view, print, or process these orders directly through the web interface.
Yes, Go-webEDI allows you to create despatch advices and invoices based on received orders. You can either generate despatch advices directly from orders or create them manually. Likewise, invoices can be created directly from orders or despatch advices and are fully editable before sending.
Go-webEDI enables users to create GS1-certified pallet labels (both homogeneous and heterogeneous). Pallet labels are generated manually or using details from your despatch advice, and they can be printed via the platform using pre-configured settings such as your company code and Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC).
You will receive email notifications when new orders arrive in your Go-webEDI mailbox. Who is receiving the notifications can be customized by adding the appropriate email addresses in the "Options" menu.
Go-webEDI provides tools for managing partners and items. You can add, edit, and delete your own partners and items, though partners and items maintained centrally by Descartes cannot be modified. You can also specify article prices for specific trading partners.
