NORDSTROM + OPENTEXT | GXS ACTIVE INTELLIGENCE PARTNERSHIP

  

Nordstrom is excited to announce that we will be implementing, in Phases, a new portal called OpenText | GXS Active Intelligence (AI).  Phase I is all about validating EDI data and will be rolled out in late February. 

 

This new tool will monitor EDI documents being received from trading partners as well as send out email alerts when the data contains mapping / formatting issues.  It is important to read and act quickly to these email notifications, resubmitting data when necessary; if this is done prior to your shipment being received at our warehouses, errors could be caught upfront before they become issues in our supply chain. Expense offset fees may apply If it cannot be resubmitted or is not done timely for that order, however suppliers should take the opportunity to fix the issue(s) for future orders.  

 

We look forward to being able to partner with our valued suppliers and OpenText |GXS to help improve product flow through our facilities with the added benefit of reducing or eliminating EDI expense offset fees.

 

Phase II will be expanding our portal service with deduction management for expense offset fees; phase II implementation will be announced at a later date.
