Successful supply chain management hinges on a business’s ability to understand and interpret multiple environmental surroundings and react quickly and effectively to capriciously occurring events. In attempting to do this, businesses must utilise pro-active risk-reducing strategies in conjunction with supply chain technologies that deliver end-to-end, real-time visibility of each supply chain component. In doing this, businesses can ensure the detection and management of risks that can cause supply chain disruption.
Data Interchange was started in 1986 by Phillip Friend whilst he was working as a mainframe systems programmer for Perkins Engines, the diesel engine manufacturer now owned by Caterpillar Inc. Working in his spare time, Phil developed the very first software implementation of the OFTP file exchange protocol on the IBM PC, underpinning the implementation of EDI in the automotive industry and we haven’t looked back since.
Today, Data Interchange is a global business providing mission-critical B2B integration solutions to some of the world’s leading businesses and specialises in providing sophisticated and scalable supply chain technology solutions. Very much in line with Phillip’s original vision, we enable businesses to exchange and process electronic business documents between global trading partners in increasingly complex and evolving international supply chains. With a strong heritage in the automotive sector, Data Interchange has been configuring and adapting supply chain solutions for automotive OEM’s and their Tier 1 manufacturing suppliers for well over thirty years.
