Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform Offers EDI Connectivity via BOLD VAN

We are pleased to announce BOLD VAN is now an approved EDI VAN provider for the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform, software designed for manufacturing from the beginning. Over three decades ago, the Plex platform was conceived on an automotive part manufacturer's shop floor. Because some plant workers felt frustrated with inaccuracies and breakdowns, they built Plex to improve their productivity. As a result, the company handles more than 8 billion daily transactions! And now, Plex users can easily add EDI connectivity with BOLD VAN.

Shipping with BOLD VAN

Additionally, Plex users may integrate our EDI-compliant shipping module called DES.

Moreover, DES's compatibility with all major retailers and carriers means the days of logging into multiple sites are gone. Instead, you will happily manage the entire operation from one single portal.Furthermore, DES takes charge of EDI requirements, creating UCC labels, automating the entire shipping process (including ship notices), dock planning for deliveries and shipments, and finding inefficiencies in your warehouse.
