Frequently Asked Questions
What is EDI integration and how does it work?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a standardized method that enables businesses to exchange and process documents electronically between different businesses replacing traditional paper-based documents like invoices and purchase orders. It allows for an accurate, secure, and reliable transmission of data between your systems and with your trading partners so you meet their guidelines. EDI integration is the transfer, mapping, and translation of EDI data to and from business applications, and is an important piece of how businesses gain better visibility of data.
EDI is a critical piece in driving the supply chain across a multitude of verticals including, but not limited to retail, manufacturing, healthcare, insurance, logistics, distribution, automotive, financial services, and government. There are a number of EDI standards and protocols supported to help you with your B2B/EDI integration and we continue to add more.
