Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a standardised method of exchanging business documents and information between different computer systems or business partners in a structured and electronic format. It enables the seamless and automated transfer of business documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and other transactional data, without the need for manual intervention or paper-based processes.
EDI is widely used across various industries, including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics, and finance, where efficient and standardised communication between business partners is essential. It fosters smoother business relationships, accelerates transaction cycles, and enhances overall supply chain efficiency by enabling faster, accurate, and secure exchange of critical business information.
