McLeod Software now offers its Web based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) module as a stand-alone product to trucking companies that may not be a McLeod LoadMaster customer. This product has been developed so that it is non-integrated with the LoadMaster base package. Therefore, companies who want WebEDI, but do not necessarily want to purchase the LoadMaster software, can have WebEDI.
WebEDI is a non-integrated means of transferring data between carriers and customers and is useful for low-volume customers that require EDI. Carriers can log onto McLeod's WebEDI server via the Internet using a web browser to receive load tenders (204s), functional group acknowledgements (997s), and remittance advice (820s) from customers. McLeod maintains a secure host WebEDI server, and everything is transmitted and received in both standard ANSI X12 EDI and TDCC Format with minimal deployment. Carriers using WebEDI also can send load acceptances (990s), shipment statuses (214s), and electronic invoicing (210) via the Internet.
