What is EDI ?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a technology that facilitates the electronic exchange of business documents between trading partners. These documents can include purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and more. Instead of relying on paper-based or manual processes, EDI allows for the seamless, standardized, and automated transmission of data between different computer systems.
