EDI use in the B2B sector

What is EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of standardized business documents between the IT systems of our business partners and our company. EDI makes it possible to transfer orders, shipping notifications, invoices and other business-critical documents in real time and without errors.

Advantages of using EDI

• Faster business processes: The automation of data exchange significantly reduces processing times. Orders and invoices can be transmitted and processed in a matter of seconds.
• Error reduction: Manual data entry is a thing of the past. EDI minimizes the risk of input errors and ensures a high level of data integrity.
• Cost savings: Reduced processing times and fewer errors lead to considerable cost savings throughout the entire business process.
• Sustainability: Paperless data exchange contributes to a more sustainable business practice by reducing paper consumption and environmental impact.
• Improved customer relations: Faster and more accurate communication strengthens business relationships and increases customer satisfaction.
• Increased sales: Automated subsequent delivery, e.g. using SLSRPT, generally enables significant increases in sales due to better availability of goods.
