Do you ever wish that you could immediately know when EDI transactions arrive in your Softshare mailbox? While Athena and Vista users should have a regular schedule for checking their mailboxes, it is difficult to predict exactly when new documents will be delivered, and, thus, important transactions from key trading partners may remain unacknowledged for much longer than you (or your trading partners) would prefer.
With Softshare’s Mailbox Messenger service, this is one thing you’ll never have to worry about again. Now, you can have Softshare send a notification message to any e-mail address whenever an EDI transaction arrives in your Softshare mailbox. And, Mailbox Manager is flexible, letting you decide which transactions you want to receive notifications for—you can set up your notifications based on trading partner, transaction type, or a combination of these. For example, you can have purchase orders generate notification messages but not sales catalog transactions.
For a one-time setup charge of $100 per notification e-mail address, Mailbox Messenger can send notification messages to one address or multiple addresses, letting you customize your notifications to perfectly fit the needs of your business. For example, you can have all purchase order arrivals send notifications to the e-mail address of the shipping department, while invoices from a particular subset of trading partners notify a representative in accounts payable.
So, what are you waiting for? Call Softshare Sales today and let Mailbox Messenger ensure that you’ll never miss an important transaction again. Your trading partners will thank you for it.
