What is EDI?
EDI is a direct machine-to-machine communication which enables the automated exchange of documents, avoiding the need for manual processing, which is both time consuming and error prone.
Why do businesses use EDI?
There are many benefits to using EDI in businesses of all sizes, operating in many sectors including retail, food, logistics, distribution, construction, manufacturing and many more.
EDI is now the standard way in which most larger organisations trade with their supply chain partners and, as a result, suppliers of goods and services are at a real competitive advantage if they can trade electronically via EDI with both their customers and ingredients suppliers. In fact, many companies insist that their suppliers trade with them via EDI.
