Not everybody has a clear picture of how the EDI (or Electronic Data Interchange) standardized format document looks. One of Esoware products deals with such kind documents messaging. It is the EDIStep application, which was developed to save personnel time by removing errors made during the typing, file transferring and format identification or change, etc. Format change is a useful feature when the file is to be used on Step II, which is an XML based programme. As a result, customers receive correct and accurate documents.
Some important facts which can interest small and medium size terminals’ administrators, the main advantage of this software range are its price. The affordability is provided by Esoware’s sales politics, which allow buying and installing software in packages and does not requires mainframes or communications protocols when running on network PCs. And no matter how large capacity does terminal have, the price will remain the same. The software was developed for the SCT group and meets the needs of mobile cranes, reach stackers and RTG’s working together connected to agency, feeder company and Italian customs and police.
Very important issue is how high the performance of software and connection is. In Esoware they use a WAN native implementing, which makes data transfer be possible even at a limited band channels, because the minimum bandwidth is required for these applications.
Functions of different programmes and applications do vary but they are comparable so that altogether software of a kind can make terminal, shipyard, forwarding company or shipping agencies management much easier, almost absolutely automatic.
