BASE2 AutoLine EDI
Solution Packages
BASE2's AutoLine provides fast, efficient communication for your shipping, purchasing, and planning needs. It is the culmination of years of EDI experience. Our program is highly reliable and was one of the first EDI packages to be approved by both Honda of America and General Motors EDIFACT. We support the electronic data interchange needs of many other companies, including Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Johnson Controls, and Lear; Wal-mart, Sears, FleetFarm. For more information about why you should choose AutoLine, please contact us as we'd be happy to speak with you.
BASE2 differs from other EDI packages in several crucial ways:
Way #1 : It's a snap to use. Screens are simple and logical, consistent no matter what Trading Partner you're working with, and users do not rekey data into other AutoLine modules.
Way #2 : When we install AutoLine for you, it's virtually ready-to-go out of the box. Aside from setting up your communications (which we'll do with you over the phone), AutoLine requires no user mapping, no templates and no extra programming on your end.
Way #3 : Our technical support is unparalleled in the industry. We are responsive, accurate, and friendly.
Way #4 : We will walk you through successful testing with your Trading Partners. Our GM clients, for example, are usually completely finished with their EDIFACT testing in a day or two and Covisint in a couple hours. We hold the testing "record" for Honda installs: 6 hours.
