EDI Applications
EDI, applied to the different business processes, allows more streamlined and efficient operations of your commercial, purchasing and administrative departments with companies both supplying and receiving goods.
As a working system, “Electronic Data Interchange” is designed to automatically integrate your business documents into your ERP or Internal Management System. The higher the number of trading partners (customers, suppliers, majestic operators, etc.) and EDI transactions interchanged with them, the greater the benefits to be obtained through EDI implantation. These benefits translate as important reductions in costs which, depending on the level of rollout, may reach 90% compared with the same process carried out with business documents managed by other means such as post, fax or mail.
