NSW DCS extends partnership with MessageXchange

MessageXchange, a provider of business-to-business integration solutions such as electronic data interchange (EDI) and e-invoicing, has extended its services with the NSW Department of Customer Service (NSW DCS) to include EDI. The service, available to the whole of NSW Government, is known as Transactions.buy. NSW DCS comprises more than 30 different agencies, entities and business units that assist the people and businesses of NSW. DCS provides digital leadership and innovation in government services that align with the NSW Digital Government Strategy.

The EDI service is used by NSW Government agencies such as Corrective Services NSW, the Department of Education and the Department of Health, and is available as a single, whole-of-government gateway for all NSW agencies. The NSW Digital Government Strategy aims to offer digital services that will benefit customers and suppliers. With this EDI service, supplier purchase orders and other key communications are automatically transmitted to suppliers. Suppliers can receive documents quickly and electronically, streamlining processes and providing efficiencies for government agencies.

John Delaney, Managing Director of MessageXchange, said this agreement is an extension of MessageXchange’s e-invoicing solution that was implemented for NSW DCS in August 2020.

“MessageXchange was chosen to extend its services based on the results of the e-invoicing rollout, our experience in digital procurement and the subsequent relationship built between the two organisations. With the addition of EDI to the existing services MessageXchange provides, NSW DCS can now report centrally and handle different messages on a consolidated platform, which will further enhance supplier relationships,” said Delaney.
