Electronic Data Interchange

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a standardized way for businesses to electronically exchange important information, such as orders, invoices, and shipping details. Instead of sending paper documents or manually entering data into systems, companies use EDI to transmit these documents directly from one computer system to another. This process speeds up communication, reduces errors, and lowers costs. EDI ensures that different organizations, often with different software and systems, can communicate seamlessly and efficiently, streamlining supply chains, procurement, and other business operations.
