What is EDI (Electronic data interchange)?

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the exchange of structured data, according to a pre-defined format agreed upon, between computer systems and without human intervention. It is the basis of successful entrepreneurship. This is precisely the reason why business partners want to do business electronically, with their business partners such as suppliers or customers.

This will be particularly the case in the post-COVID-19 world since enterprises need to quickly rebuild their business.

Trading Partners Requiring EDI?

For many companies, especially in the Retail Industry, EDI is essential to keep supply chain processes running smoothly, and often these organizations put some pressure on their suppliers to start exchanging EDI. Moreover, EDI is often one of the fundamental conditions for suppliers to start working with large retailers such as (Walmart, Home Depot, Costco, Target, etc.).

However, many suppliers do not have the necessary technical knowledge and expertise to successfully implement EDI in their organization, or they do not have available IT team to setup and manage EDI platforms to connect and exchange electronic EDI documents with new trading partners.
