LaserNet

Garmin - one of Europe’s largest wholesale distributors of incar GPS navigation units is using a combination of XML and EDI so that they can invoice their customers electronically. In other words no paper invoices, purchase orders or other documents need to be sent or received. “The efficiency gains have been tremendous”, says Kenneth Aabenhus, Financial and IT Director for Garmin. “This has led to a significant improvement in our competitiveness, helping us to win large contracts with FMCG chains such as MERLIN, COOP and ALDI, as well as trade with Government bodies such as the Danish Police.”

"There are three good reasons why we chose to implement LaserNet: Firstly, LaserNet is not dependent on a printer, in contrast to our previous form printing system. Next, we can perform the programming and preparation directly in LaserNet which we’d otherwise have to do in our financial management system. It’s a huge benefit to us, saving both time and money. And last but not least we can easily and efficiently reuse the forms we make in LaserNet when we switch from using Concorde XAL to Dynamics AX as an ERP system."
