Electronic data interchange (EDI) is a method for exchanging business documents and data between organizations electronically. It allows businesses to share information like invoices, purchase orders, and shipping notices without the need for human intervention.
EDI uses a format that both businesses agree on, ensuring that both organizations can access and use the data. It automates the sending of documents, reducing the need for manual intervention and removing human error. EDI makes business processes more efficient and saves organizations using it time and money.
