DiCentral's Managed Services
Getting products into the hands of customers is becoming more difficult than ever. Shouldn’t you be able to dedicate more time and energy focusing on your core competencies than on increasingly complicated supply chains?

Additionally, with Managed Services DiCentral can manage part or all of your EDI functions.
DiCentral’s Managed Services team can handle it all: the data translation and routing to your vendor community, supplier on-boarding, supplier support services, the underlying transactional infrastructure and data center, and more. In other words, DiCentral can be an extension of your staff and can become the primary contact for your suppliers when they have any EDI support questions.
