Transmission of Documents in Standard Digital EDI Format
What is EDI for?
EDI, or Electronic Data Interchange, is a standard that simplifies document exchange between national and international partners, customers, and suppliers. By using the set of EDI standard protocols currently available on the market (Edifact, Ansi X12, Tradacom, VDA, Odette, UBL), it is possible to directly transmit customized files between the various actors in the supply chain, eliminating challenges related to format compatibility and data exchange with the information system.
EDI, a standardized system for business document communication, fully automates transactions, replacing the use of paper documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Thanks to EDI standards, information can be transferred directly between the IT systems of the companies involved, speeding up the data exchange process and optimizing operations within the supply chain and B2B networks.
