Mr. Mattias,
Our company has a development platform (icFoundation) that would be easily
extensible with this type of situation. Our package could integrate the
return of the web information back into your backend EDI processes. This
could all be done in an unattended mode. Please feel free to call me for
more information. You can also vist our web site at

> One of my clients just received a notice from one of their customers that
