EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange and loosely defined, EDI is the structured transmission of electronic data such as purchase orders, invoices and shipping notices between organizations. More simply, it ensures that Company A’s systems can talk to Company B’s systems, and nothing will be lost in translation. The most common use case for this is when EDI compliance is required by a trading partner for a new supplier entering the market, or expanding their distribution channels. Every day at TrueCommerce B2BGateway, we enable thousands of trading partner relationships to exchange documents. Some trading partners you may recognize are Tesco, Wal-Mart, Amazon.com and Target. Electronic Data Interchange is not an out of the box solution. There are standards which need to be followed such as ANSI X-12 UN/EDIFACT, Tradacoms, Eancom and Odette. There are also protocols which are set in place such as a VAN or Value Added Network, FTP and AS2.
