What is electronic data interchange?

electronic data interchange
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is a technological framework that allows the transfer of data from one computer system to another by using a standard message format.

This system enables businesses to communicate information traditionally relayed through paper, such as purchase orders and invoices, in an electronic format.

What are the benefits of electronic data interchange?

Save time

EDI enhances the speed of business transactions. It eliminates manual processes like mail, fax, or email, and facilitates faster data entry, thus significantly saving time.

Reduce errors

By using a standardized format, EDI reduces the risk of errors that often occur with manual processes. The rigid standardization ensures that information is correctly formatted before entering systems, leading to improved data quality.

Increase security

EDI transactions are more secure compared to traditional methods. The exchange of documents is safeguarded by secure networks, enhancing the security of sensitive data.

Enhance connectivity

EDI creates a more connected business environment, strengthening relationships with trading partners. This improved connectivity facilitates smoother and more efficient business transactions.
