How to Become EDI Compliant in Under 60 Minutes (Yes, Really)
Being an EDI-compliant company is one of the most effective ways to drive business growth.
There are times when SMEs cannot collaborate with large companies because small companies do not meet their EDI requirements.
In other cases, companies may lose their long-term large business partner because a large company moves to EDI and starts requiring all of its suppliers to exchange documents via EDI.
This can happen to any company.
However, EDI is still the main tool for interacting between business partners and the possibility of cooperation with large companies.
In fact, all major retail companies such as Walmart, Kroger, Home Depot, Costco, Target, and others actively use EDI to communicate with their suppliers, carrier companies, and 3PL partners.
So, what tool can enable you to quickly exchange EDI and become EDI compliant? How to start exchanging EDI documents quickly and cost-effectively, without losing an existing trading partner, and be ready to cooperate with new ones?
HTTP EDI Web Service (REST API) – an Easy Way to Exchange Business Documents
EDI connectivity is a pain for many SMEs. Often, they simply do not have the necessary resources for an EDI integration and can’t afford the monthly EDI fees that must be paid to the EDI provider. Moreover, often, it is simply not profitable and very expensive, since small companies often have a small volume of transactions per month.
With 25 years of experience as an EDI provider, we have identified this problem that small businesses need to solve every day, and developed a unique, easy-to-use solution for SMEs to become EDI-compatible quickly and easily.
We have built a robust and well-established EDI tool that allows you to connect to EDI in record time and start exchanging EDI documents with your trading partners.
What Is an EDI Web Service and How Does It Work?
The EDI2XML Web Service is a web-based HTTP service that runs over the Internet and is capable of translating EDI messages to XML and XML messages to EDI (based on EDI2XML’s proprietary xml format or schema). In addition to XML, the EDI2XML Web Service now supports JSON input and output, allowing developers to choose their preferred data format when converting EDI documents.
EDI Web Service is a low-cost alternative solution to on-premises EDI, SaaS EDI, or Managed EDI.
EDI2XML now includes built-in 997 Functional Acknowledgments and secure OAuth2 token-based authentication for production-grade reliability and security.
This EDI solution offers almost the same benefits of a traditional EDI, including speeding up business document transformation, eliminating document loss, and reducing administrative contact with trading partners.
Supported EDI Transactions
In our EDI document library here you can find a list of supported EDI X12, EDIFACT, HIPAA / X12 transactions that you can start transformation, and be ready to exchange in less than an hour. However, we can add any additional EDI transaction set at your request, without any fees.
How Much Does EDI Web Service Cost? Pricing Breakdown
Payment for the use of the EDI web service is very simple and consists of two parts:
- The monthly payment for using the web service mailbox.
- Payment for the volume of processed data. This fee is variable and depends on the volume of data converted (between EDI and XML) during a calendar month.
