Babelway

Easy to use B2B platform!

Kommentare: The Babelway platform makes setting up communication with customers, suppliers and other partners easy. Within the ICT department it is possible to this yourself without expensive consultancy.
We have moved our EDI platform to Babelway and setup communications (ORDERS, DESADV, INVOIC, VMI), with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and their members, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. Is also possible to setup communication with less experienced EDI partners because it is possible to map other formats (CSV, PDF files).

Vorteile:

It is an outstanding B2B platform for setting up, without technical skills and just basic knowledge, your own B2B channels. Setting up communication, do your own mapping, testing and deploying new solutions is easy and fast. You can map a broad spectrum of message types (edifact, xml, json, csv etc.) and you have almost every communication methods at your disposal (X400, AS2, FTP, Email etc.). The platform has also a quick and high-level support department to help you when channels become more demanding.

Nachteile:

It took a little more time then expected to get used to their latest version of the software. Menu items appear since the update on the right site of the screen so more 'mouse movement' is needed. Overal experience is still superb.

Babelway as a tool to exchange data

Vorteile:

Great tool to help and connect (cloud) applications. We had to make a decision to build a tool ourselves that would be able to generate fixed width, XML, etc output. After some research I found Babelway and my technical consultants started experimenting. We found that the features to generate output, to map fields. to exchange files between business partners is very good. So we decided to start using Babelway instead of building our own solution.

Nachteile:

The pricing structure didn't really fit our business model, but we are working on that and they are open and willing to discuss a mutual acceptable pricing structure.

Next generation B2B

Kommentare: More and more of our customers are starting to truely integrate their processes and workflows with their business partners or to serve their customers. Babelway gives us the ideal online platform to help our customers achieve their goals. Using Babelway, there is no longer the need to build 1 time customisation tools or scripts, but we can just use their standard ERP software's (structured) export formats (Excel or XML) and bring that into Babelway. Within Babelway we use their excellent online mapping tool and setup the communication with the customers or suppliers. After that it's testing, testing and go.

Vorteile:

Eliminates customisation and allows you to use standard export tools that are allready present in most ERP systems. Focus on being the best B2B integration platform and it's up to you how to use it. Excellent support. Willingness to work with partners who bring their own expertise.

Nachteile:

There is a learning curve, but not a steep one.

Do it yourself made easy

Kommentare: Currently having more than 20 Automotive Customers around the world connected to our 3 manufacturing plants and still more to come.
All with just a small monthly fee compared to others.

Vorteile:

after struggling for 1 year to start an EDI process with 1 Customer using a different software we stepped into the Babelway software trying to manage the business on our own. within 2 Months with the help of fantastic helpdesk people of Babelway we were live. After 2 years still learning new stuff but the Babelway software helps you quickly find your way.

Nachteile:

Integration was at first difficult as we had no experience with EDI at all but once we managed the first one the others were easy. What I least like is that when you deployed a channel there is no way to go back to the previous status, at least I don't know how to.

Babelway is fast to react on support tickets. Also to find together a solution with the customer.

Kommentare: Our benefits is that we have one provider for all our edi customers.
In the past we worked with several providers but to manage this was difficult.

Vorteile:

The software is simple to use (for users and administrator). It had a good structure and a good overview.

Nachteile:

The mapping is done by Babelway. This is for me a shortage because when I have a change request on the mapping, I can't do it my selves. I have to follow the online courses but time is what I'm struggle with.

Excellent support, very mature and stable service for business critical operations

Kommentare: Easy integration with a range of ERP systems with limited effort and a scalable set-up.

Vorteile:

The best customer support: they go very far to help you out, and they are extremely fast. The platform is also very fast in processing data, and it seams very reliable and designed for business critical processes.

Nachteile:

The documentation is not detailed enough to help you through more specific details with different formats and transformations. I had to contact support several times for questions that could have been answered in documentation.

SAAS with benifits

Vorteile:

Opposite to other EDI-providers, you have total control of all EDI-setups. Nevertheless you can count an a team of specialists when you're stuck

Nachteile:

I have the impression some things can only be realised by uploading xml and not by using the software.

Export of reports. An ease report would be nice
