Rhodia / NA EDI Project

! In 2008 Rhodia expanded our global SAP system to North America "  They had in place an EDI infrastructure which included old EDI software and a connection to a VAN "  They had resources who were full time involved with managing the connections, tracing errors, managing

mapping, producing copy documents etc

! The decision was made to move this traffic through Elemica for the following reasons: "  They had in place an EDI infrastructure which included old EDI software and a connection to a VAN "  To cut complexity on the incoming messaging to Rhodia, and limit translation to the ChemXml Standards. "  To limit the need to manage maps "  To move the maintenance to the automated and semi-automated industry solutions that Elemica maintain "  To allow for the resources to move onto value added tasks

! Outcome: "  Resources working on Worldwide solutions not dedicated to zone or countries. "  Resources focused on added-value tasks such managing expansion of partner connectivity. "  Better Costs control through :

"  Global Business Processes / Global SOA Architecture "  WW Contract with Elemica "  Ease the on-boarding of new partners. Elemica offering various connectivity options to Rhodia partners.

Invoice Status & Payment Advice

•  Invoice Status & Payment Advice •  What it is

–  Suppliers now have access to the status of any invoice with their Buyer, including those not sent through Elemica

•  Why it matters –  Buyer

•  Fewer supplier inquiries •  Reduction in Buyer AP admin effort •  Fewer duplicate invoices

–  Supplier •  Visibility into the payment clock •  Management by exception •  Fix discrepancies and prior to due date to reduce DSO

For many organizations, 20 percent or more of invoices contain some sort of exception, and these invoices can take a lot of time to resolve. In a study from The Accounts Payable Network (TAPN), the average resolution time for problem invoices was seven to ten days for 40 percent of companies and more than ten days for 20 percent.
