The Age of EDI
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the digital pathway of exchanging business insights according to defined standards. This results in accelerated logistics timelines and fewer instances of manual errors. Organizations involved in the production, purchase, sales, shipping, healthcare, retail, and airlines stand to gain the most from EDI.
Commonly exchanged documents include invoices and orders. EDI eliminates the need for handling and preparing mail, making it a “paperless” exchange and modernizing the conventional mode of business communication.
