Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format between businesses. The major benefits are reduced cost, increased processing speed, reduced errors, and improved relationships with trading partners.
EDI has increasingly become a more standard way of processing transactions, and many large retailers have strict compliance requirements with their vendors. Failure to send and receive data according to a retailer’s EDI format and conventions can lead to fines or a termination of the business relationship.
