What is EDI (New)
  • What Is EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange is the electronic transfer of business documents from one business partner’s computer system application to another. 



EDI documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and advance shipping notices can be created digitally and electronically sent in real-time, saving organizations the hindrance and inefficiency of physical document sharing.



The lack of universal data formatting standards makes the electronic exchange of data a formidable task. Our EDI services can deliver significant process and cost improvements to your organization and enable today's JIT or "Just in Time" management process.
