Benefits from EDI

EDI continues to prove its major business value by lowering costs, improving speed, accuracy and business efficiency. The greatest EDI benefits often come at the strategic business level.

  • EDI can speed up your business cycles by 61%. Exchange transactions in minutes instead of the days or weeks of wait time from the postal service
  • Improves data quality, delivering at least a 30—40% reduction in transactions with errors—eliminating errors from illegible handwriting, lost faxes/mail and keying and re-keying errors
  • Using EDI can reduce the order-to-cash cycle time by more than 20%, improving business partner transactions and relationships


Multi Industry EDI

EDI is used across many different industry sectors. It is applied to address many different business processes and industry challenges. While every industry recognizes the value of e-commerce and EDI, each industry defines its implementation guidelines and each industry has its own set of business rules and practices.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers meet vendor requirements by giving them the ability to exchange EDI transactions. Often, being able to exchange EDI transactions with vendors (or other business partners) is a must, when starting a business relationship.

 

EDI for Manufacturers is a solution that is capable of sending and receiving purchase orders, invoices, advanced shipping notices, shipping schedules and routing carrier instructions. In order to grow and become competitive in today’s market, the manufacturer needs to be able to exchange data quickly. For that reason, they have to use electronic mechanisms to transfer their transactions fast from one side to another (warehouses, transportation carriers and other manufacturers).
