B2BGateway Launches EDI Connect App for Android Users

Announcement posted by B2BGateway 19 Apr 2016

EDI Connect App allows B2BGateway clients to manage their EDI accounts while on the move.

B2BGateway, a leading global EDI solution provider, has announced the launch of its EDI Connect app for Android users. The app was designed and developed to give clients instant access to their EDI transactions while they are on the move.

Once users sign up for a B2BGateway EDI account, they can electronically exchange business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, etc., with trading partners without having to re-key any data. B2BGateway’s EDI solutions are cloud based and fully integrate with the majority of ERP’s as well as Warehouse and Inventory Management systems. While the existing B2BGateway platform allows businesses to manage their full EDI accounts, clients can now use the EDI Connect app on their Android devices to oversee trading partner relationships, daily EDI transactions and contact their support engineers 24/7.

In a statement, Kevin Hoyle, CEO of B2BGateway, commented on the new EDI Connect Android app:

“The B2BGateway EDI Connect app is the result of intensive cooperation between our employees and our customers to fulfill our customer’s business needs and make their lives somewhat easier. It is focused on helping our customers plan smarter; choose transaction report and you will get list of your recent transactions, with one tap you will get instant access to all your EDI relationships and with another tap you are direct through to support.”

The B2BGateway EDI Connect app is free to download on Google Play and can be used on all Android devices including Samsung, Huawei, HTC, Amazon Kindle, to name but a few. The new Android app compliments the existing B2BGateway iOS app which is also available free to download on the Apple App Store.

“With the EDI Connect app for Android, B2BGateway takes its second step into the world of smart devices” said Roger Leyden, B2BGateway’s Director of Global Business Development. “We learned a lot from our EDI Connect iOS app from the Apple community about what makes a great EDI app and we applied these lessons to building the B2BGateway EDI Connect app for Android users. We decided to focus our efforts on making the Android app visually appealing and more intuitive. The new code base has allowed us to add features and build a stable app. We will continue to improve the app by adding additional features and functionality through regular future updates.”
