Computer-to-Computer Communication
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a computer-to-computer exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format.
Orders are placed and confirmed automatically, prices are accurately confirmed and agreed upon, deliveries and backorders are handled according to trading policies and the human error factor is almost 100% eliminated.
Most major organisations are insisting that Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is now their standard method of transacting with suppliers. If you are currently a supplier to one of these organisations then you may have no choice but to implement an EDI system.
