It would be easy to
assume that a mid-sized company such as ours does not possess military specific
data capabilities equal to larger organizations. Nothing could be further from the truth.
DeCA and Bethel-Eckert have been jointly honored as the Best
Electronic Commerce Small Business-Government Team of the year in the entire
Department of Defense. DeCA selected Bethel-Eckert as their Best Electronic
Commerce Team of the Year for 1999 in the small business category.
Our entire information
systems capability is equal to or greater than any distributor in the military
industry. A bold statement but one
supported by facts. Our systems are
devoted solely to serving our customers and DeCA while enhancing our internal
administrative capabilities. We execute
our own in-house programming.
We electronically
transmit our purchase orders utilizing transaction set EDI 875. We are capable of handling both the EDI 880
and 820 grocery products invoices, and remittance advice. We support versions 3010 through the current
version for various manufacturers.
We transmit our highly
accurate roll-up invoices utilizing transaction set 867, faster than any
distributor in our industry. The
accuracy and timeliness of these transmissions enables our customers to process
roll-ups faster, invoice DeCA faster and gain faster access to sales
figures. We have many “time stamp”
verifications of roll-up receipts by manufacturers and brokers to support our
claim. In fact a major
manufacturer-customer of ours recently conducted a top to bottom analysis of
all their distributors’ capabilities.
Their conclusion was Bethel-Eckert is the standard by which all
distributors will be measured.
Their objective is to bring all their distributors up to our level of
accuracy and efficiency.
Our compatibility with
and support of DeCA’s system is unsurpassed.
We have invested many dollars and man-hours to assure we are capable of
supporting DeCA’s systems and processes.
