E-Commerce Business Solutions

Qualedi, Inc. has two main product lines: Data Transport Software and EDI Translation Software (Electronic Data Interchange for any size business in any industry).

We have chosen to develop data transport software in response to customer requests specifically in the Utility Industry where the U.S. Government has mandated Electronic Data Mechanism (EDM) standards compliance. In addition to our EDM tool Qualedi, Inc. has developed communication software that connects companies directly (or point to point) with industry’s most innovative and reliable solutions; EDIINT-AS2 and FTP.

Data Transport Software
Qualedi supports a large number of communication transport options including all the major Value Added Networks. We are here to meet your needs, please contact us to discuss data transport options.

PowerXchange – EDM
Qualedi PowerXchange is a simple to use, fairly priced communications software package that supports both NAESB and GISB standards. It can operate as a stand-alone module with your current EDI system or you can install our custom package that integrates the communications module with Qualedi EDI Translation Software™. In either case, Qualedi can ensure that you will be compliant with the newly established utility industry communications guidelines.

EDI Translation Software
Since 1983, Qualedi has built its reputation in the EDI industry, based on it's innovative software development and customer service. We proudly support a number of solutions designed to accommodate any size business within any industry.

Q-Express "Your Retailer EDI Solution"
We have two decades of EDI experience building pre-packaged, pre-configured retailer systems (e.g. Wal-Mart, JCPenney, K-Mart and etc.) that include customized document and communications requirements.

The EDI Express utilizes Qualedi software combined with a communication interface approved by the retailer. This package designed for efficient, reliable EDI trading with the retailer. This package provides the software and documents you need for full compliance with the retailer EDI program.


Workstation "Rip and Read"
"Workstation" is the term used to describe a translator that requires manual input, or key entry, to fill out information required to send an EDI document. A document that is received on a Workstation can be viewed on the screen or printed.

Front End "Hands Free EDI"
Data flows effortlessly between application systems! After initial mapping and set-up, this system is one that automatically retrieves the required information for an EDI document from a specific existing software application (example: An Accounting Package) and sends that document to a trading partner. When the computer receives an EDI document from the trading partner, the EDI information is placed into the software application without manual intervention.

Service Bureau (Private) "Internal divisions or Subsidiaries"
This System allows you to exchange documents on behalf of internal divisions or departments with external trading partners. You may have multiple internal trading partners.
Internal trading partners are those separate and distinct internal entities that funnel their EDI document through the central Qualedi translator.
External trading partners are the companies with which you exchange EDI documents. The system allows an unlimited number of trading partners (E.g. JC Penney, Walgreen's etc.)

Service Bureau (Commercial) "Start a business"
This System allows you to exchange documents on behalf of third parties, your customers. This allows you to start with 10 customers and set them up with an unlimited number of external trading partners (E.g. JC Penney, Walgreen's etc.)
Trading Partner set up is a simple, one-page form. All the document types and versions---both X12 and EDIFACT---are part of the package. Formats can be designed right in the software or made expressly for you.

Q-HUB "Complete Automation - Free Transmissions"
Pre-configured for Qualedi customers, tailored specifically to automate your data stream. This system is designed to seamlessly include your smaller vendors and suppliers into your document flow. Additionally, with the use of Qualedi E-Mail our customers do not participate in VAN charge.

Planetary System "Forget the Fax"
Designed to decrease inbound paper (faxes, email etc…) from non EDI vendor / suppliers. The Hub and its current EDI operations, connections and correspondents remain unchanged. Each non EDI vendor / supplier is provided with the simplest form of software, allowing it to receive and print incoming documents and to key-enter and send outgoing ones. The satellites are tailored strictly to the hub's requirements, following implementation guidelines, document types and versions currently in use. All satellites are identical and can only serve the hub. The hub now deals only in EDI terms with all its correspondents.

Hosted Solutions
To assist customers in non traditional EDI, Qualedi tailors business solutions for customers who choose to outsource their e-commerce. A hosted solution may include the use of an internet website, direct file transfer protocol, FTP from you business application or fax to EDI.

Web to EDI
All EDI data can be fed directly from the web to your EDI system.

eX-Fax "Fax to EDI"
For your customers / suppliers who only have a fax machine, this system will pass their sent fax through an OCR / ICR converter. Each fax is then mapped to your companies' specifications. Your customers / suppliers change nothing about the way they do business with you.
