Many factors come into play when your business partner requests you become EDI capable.  EDI can provide a clear insight into a company’s supply chain operations providing them with better accuracy in ordering and receiving your goods.

One of the many challenges that your business partner faces is having a large number (sometimes hundreds) of vendors communicating business transactions with them.  On average a big box retailer receives hundreds of transactions a day.  Can you imagine if all those transactions were done via mail, fax or email?  Your customer would never be able to efficiently run their supply chain operations, and the manual processing required would cost them millions in lost opportunities, waste and revenue.  This would also create opportunity loss and negatively impact cash flow for your business.  By utilizing EDI your invoices are sent electronically and imported into your partner’s financial system in minutes verses days or weeks, speeding up the payment process and helping you get paid faster.
