Consider Employment With Growing DiCentral

Visit our Clear Lake, Texas head- quarters near NASA, and you’ll see a beehive of activity. In the last year our office space and number of employees has tripled.

And we’re still growing!

DiCentral is actively recruiting talent from the EDI and supply chain industry. We need people with experience in customer service, sales, programming, and marketing. We need people who like technology. Best of all are people who have worked in EDI-related fields.

DiCentral, a privately held company based in South Houston, helps companies – many of them retailers and suppliers to retailers – to move digital billing and shipping documents to and from trading partners.

Our solutions work. More and more companies are learning that our solution is based on solid technology. Unlike some of our competitors, we wrote, patented, and maintain our software. In short, we own our technology.

DiCentral is proud of its emphasis on customer service and technical know-how. We believe our EDI solution is the most scalable, most powerful, and most flexible solution in the world.

Like our home city, Houston, we are diverse. Our employees hail from Africa, Russia, the Far East, South and North America.

With its low cost of living and lots of sun, Houston is America’s fourth largest city. It’s a city with plenty to do for sports fans, arts and culture buffs, and nature lovers.

We’re looking for talented people who like solving problems and satisfying customers.

We offer a good working environment with opportunity for growth. Contact John Nguyen at 281-480-1121 or email your resume to johnn@dicentral.com.

Supplier Calls DiCentral's Customer Service "The Best"

“They’re super. Absolutely super. One of the best, if not the best, customer service operation I’ve ever worked with.”

That’s Bob Fritz, IT manager for Denver based Bonakemi USA Inc., a Swedish hardwood floor finishing manufacturer, talking about DiCentral’s customer service.

Fritz ‘s company provides hardwood floor finishes to contractors and retailers worldwide.

“We were trying to find a better alternative to the EDI service providers we’d been using,” says Fritz. “We found DiCentral through the Internet. Their Web site offers all kinds of information about the services they provide and how they do things.”

Frtiz decided to use DiCentral’s service with one of his retail customers.

“When that worked well, we used DiCentral again with another retailer,” says Fritz. “In the end, we decided to have DiCentral service all our customers.”

Throughout, says Fritz, DiCentral has offered unparalleled customer service.

“The people -- Rachelle Edlund and Amy Tran and now, Yvette Santos – are top of the line.” says Fritz.

DiCentral’s Amy Tran helped Fritz integrate DiCentral’s Web-based solution with his ERP system.

“Now when we process orders through our ERP system, we can move the invoices through DiCentral who translates them and sends them on to our customers,” says Fritz.

“That’s saving two man days a week in our customer service department alone.”
