This is the second week of my internship. I am still trying to understand our company. As I said last week, I believe that the first step in rebranding a brand is to understand the purpose and direction of the business. After a preliminary understanding of last week, I began to understand some special terms of e-commerce. For example:

ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning: integrate the raw material price, shipping cost, packaging cost, taxes, extra costs, etc. of various supplies and greater purchase orders. It will help the EDI working in the companies.

ASN – Advanced Shipping Notice: A retail or wholesale customer getting a notice that the shipping is one the way.

And so on. Therefore, our company is doing the intermediate work of inter-enterprise information transmission. It is the responsibility of the company to deliver information clearly and efficiently to the ERP system of the enterprise.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 101

While I was learning this knowledge, I also had some questions that needed to be answered by my supervisor, Steve, such as how our company specifically used the technology of these terms.

Through the conversation with Steve, I learned that our company has several small branches, which are datametriq, cloud commerce, and opentext. Datametriq is the main branch of the company.
But Steve wasn’t happy with their current brand design. They needed to reinvent the brand to look as professional as other big companies.

Then the bad news came suddenly. A new coronavirus had been reported in our country, and in New York state. We didn’t know what was going to happen. Let’s hope there’s no outbreak in New York City.
