Service Reduces Costs and Delays Involved With Manual Processing of Faxed
Purchase Orders and Invoices


CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
HDX Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datalliance, today introduced
the HDX FAX-to-EDI service, an Internet-based, heavy duty industry-specific
service that converts faxed documents into standard EDI documents. HDX
FAX-to-EDI is a Software as a Service (SaaS) product, requiring no additional
hardware or software - just a standard Internet connection and existing EDI
software. 

"The implementation of EDI has helped heavy duty truck companies achieve
significant benefits by reducing manual processes. However, many companies still
deal with a large number of inbound paper documents from their small to
medium-sized trading partners who are not EDI-capable," explained Edward Kuo,
Executive Director of HDX Services. "Processing a faxed order or invoice is a
time-consuming and error-filled process. HDX FAX-to-EDI reduces the time and
cost associated with receiving faxed documents by automatically converting them
to industry standard EDI transactions. HDX created an affordable, industry-wide
solution that prevents companies from having to address this problem
individually. This new service fits the core mission of HDX as a provider of
standard e-commerce products and services," he added.

* Speeds Order Processing - FAX-to-EDI transactions are delivered and processed

your distributors.
