| A sample application : You are a data vendor
|
| You can use InterNEDI to distribute your data to precisely who needs it. You can keep track of when and whether they received it, you can charge them for it, and even get feedback from them if necessary. Should your application be highly complex where different customers need different files, InterNEDI can be automated right into your system to send the correct file/s to the correct people.
|
| Here are some of the InterNEDI features that will meet your needs:

| Why this is useful
|
| Set download charges
| As the Super User, or member of the Super Group, you can put a charge on a file when you send it. When your customer downloads the file, a record is kept of the fact. At the end of the month, you have three options:
- We send you a breakdown of total charges per customer, and you follow up yourself.
- We send email invoices to your customers, and they pay you directly.
- We send email invoices to your customers, direct-debit them and credit you.
In addition, you can set a monthly subscription charge (individually per customer), and also a charge for the customer to upload files (individually per customer).
| Make money from your data, without having to worry about billing, invoicing etc.
Set individual discounts per customer, and even make money from their sending files to you.
|
| No password-swapping
| With users all having different permissions, you might think that there would be a fertile market for password-swapping, so that users with more privileges could give users with fewer privileges unauthorised access. This cannot happen. Instead of a password, InterNEDI uses a Unique Site ID for access control, which is a sort of "fingerprint" of the PC that the customer is using, and is virtually impossible to duplicate.
| Save money ! Stop people swapping passwords and allowing each other unauthorised access.
|
| Automatic working
| InterNEDI can be programmed to do a sequence of tasks each time it is run. Most options that are available in manual mode are also available in auto mode. There are also extra ones that allow InterNEDI to make intelligent decisions about what to do when faced with various situations. So you can automate the send from your side for more complex types of data distribution applications, and your customers can even automate their receives, should they wish to.
| Save time ! Even if every one of your customers gets different data, set up the send tasks once only, and thereafter the sends to all your customers happens totally automatically.
|
| Send file/s to be executed
| If various changes need to be done at one or more sites, you can write a program to perform the changes, and then send that file to be executed at the necessary sites (as long as you are the Super User). When your program quits, it will return error codes of your choosing to InterNEDI, which will then be returned to you in the same way as a receipt confirmation. So by checking the list of received error codes you can see where your program was executed correctly (error code 0) and where there were problems. When sending the file, you can specify how many times you wish InterNEDI to re-try running your program if it returns a non-zero error code.
| Keep your customers happy ! Fix or change things automatically at their sites without their even knowing it. Keep them running smoothly.
