What is EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange is the process by which businesses in the supply chain and other sectors exchange information such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notices.

The standards governing EDI date back decades, and the traditional process of connecting with another business to send and receive EDI data is a painful one, both time-consuming and costly. By leveraging modern technology, our client dramatically improves the EDI integration process. Our customers also benefit through access to our growing network of pre-configured trading partners.

If you’re thinking, “That sounds a little dry,” that’s ok – we know it can certainly sound that way. Modernizing old technology might not be as sexy as working on the latest web craze, but the problems to solve are both interesting and challenging, and the impact of our solutions on our customers is immediate and real. By making EDI data trading effortless, we’re turning a legacy industry on its head, and the sky’s the limit.
