Automate ink purchasing and stock management

The CERM–Flint Group integration automates the exchange of purchasing and delivery information between CERM MIS and Flint Group, helping converters manage ink materials more efficiently throughout the warehouse workflow.

Using an EDI interface, purchase orders created in CERM are transferred directly to Flint Group. Order confirmations, advance shipping information, and invoices are then automatically returned and processed in CERM, reducing manual administration and keeping purchasing and stock information up to date.

  • Automated purchasing and stock management

Once a material purchase order is created in CERM MIS, the EDI interface automatically sends the purchase order information to Flint Group. Flint Group then returns an electronic order confirmation, allowing CERM to update the purchase order status and store the corresponding confirmation references.

Before shipment, an Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) provides information about the incoming materials. This allows the delivery to be processed efficiently and the materials to be taken into stock without the need to manually scan each individual item.

When the purchase invoice is received through EDI, CERM automatically matches and books the invoice against the corresponding open purchase order.

By connecting purchasing, receiving, and inventory processes, the CERM–Flint Group integration reduces manual data entry, improves stock accuracy, and gives converters better control over their ink inventory.
