The Problem
As a growing leader in vision and eye health, Superior Vision found they were operating with multiple administrative solutions across several states. They needed to communicate with hundreds of trading partners, many requiring varying data formats. Superior Vision needed to be able to exchange large amounts of files, some very large. Moreover, Superior Vision was using multiple translation engines, communication packages, and data flows to manage their data.
Superior Vision approached Focused E-Commerce asking for a single solution to unify their internal systems while optimizing their B2B communications with trading partners.
