Adding Value with DTN Integrated Services®
Handling supplier prices and data has long been a time consuming, laborious
and error-prone process for marketers and large retailers. Accounting for the
disparate data formats used by suppliers is a huge headache, and the faxed
BOLs typically sent by the carrier are often difficult to read — which leads to
costly data entry and invoicing errors. Every re-bill can cost $50 to $100 in
processing and reconciliation time.
Customers use DTN Data Integrated Services to add value to their data and
streamline document management. We convert over eight million documents
per year (about one every four seconds, 24/7) into common electronic formats.
This process eliminates costly paper handling and
inevitable manual re-entry errors.

3. The documents involved include rack prices,
credit memos, invoices, EFT draft notifications,
bills of lading and special customer pricing. We
develop custom routines to automatically convert
every document type needed by each customer to a
standardized electronic file. The files are then
sent downstream where they can be integrated
directly into the leading petroleum back office
accounting packages.
This process eliminates costly paper handling and
inevitable manual re-entry errors. Hours a day are
shaved from accounting processes, and staff is freed
up to pursue more profitable activities. Customers
can grow their business without adding new staff by
leveraging Schneider Electric services.
Any Format, Any Time.
Senders: Electronic records management is central
to our cost-effective information delivery regardless
of the format you use. The system easily handles the
data you send as EDI, XML, text, iDOC, async and
bisync dial-up, FTP public, FTP PGP, VPN, frame
relay-secure, leased line, and many more. Hosted at
our state-of-the-art data center, Schneider Electric
provides secure, experienced service to outsource
your communications needs.
Receivers: Get your messages the way you
want them. Media and protocol options include:
Internet, satellite XML, EDI, FTP, e-mail and fax.
DTN DataConnect also supports your hard copy
documentation requirements. Choose from two
automated printing options to best meet your
operation’s needs: standard or enhanced. Standard
printing automatically prints every document as soon
as it becomes available. Enhanced printing allows
you to choose which types of documents to print,
and select whether they should automatically print
upon arrival or only at set times. Any document
can be manually printed as needed. If documents
become available when you are not logged in, they
queue so the system can catch up when you return.
