Electronic Data Interchange & XML
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the exchange of electronic business documents between two or more businesses. Your business can benefit by exchanging EDI or XML documents, such as purchase orders, manifests, invoices, and acknowledgments, with our systems. Advantages of EDI and XML:
- Reduced purchasing and document handling costs.
- Reduced order processing time.
- Improved inventory management and cash flow.
- Increased data accuracy through decreased manual entry.
