For anyone new to the concept, setting up EDI, or Electronic Data Interchange, can seem overwhelming (and expensive!). Before, only organisations with the right resources were able to benefit from EDI. Now, EDI technology is far more accessible and affordable for SMEs with less complex supply chains.

Cloud-based EDI enables the rapid exchange of standardised digital files that you can access from anywhere at anytime!

Cloud-based EDI solutions, like eDI Essential, take away the need for businesses to set-up and maintain their own on-premise solutions. Instead, we do all the leg-work to get you up and running with your chosen trading partners. All you have to do is let us know who you are, who you want to connect to, and we will do the rest! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…

So, with cloud-based EDI, you won’t need the technical knowledge of how to set up EDI. However, you should understand the EDI basics and its key benefits.

Put simply, EDI digitises and automates the exchange of vital business documents between trading parties. EDI is more efficient, cost-effective and accurate than manual processing.

With EDI, businesses such as yours can achieve an average saving of 65% vs. the cost of manual processing.

With cloud-based EDI solutions, the EDI provider takes on the technical set-up. They map and translate the source files into the required EDI format and integrate them into the business systems. There’s no need for manual rekeying of data, and therefore, no sending or receiving documents in multiple different formats.

Let us worry about the technical requirements – tell us who you want to connect to by filling out the form and we will get you online and ready to exchange documents in no time!
