Reliable EDI connection for secure and stable data exchange
EDI plus JIT/JIS – the way to digitizing companies and automating business processes
What is EDI? And why is EDI so important for your just-in-time/just-in-sequence delivery?
Companies exchange standardized messages electronically with each other. This data exchange takes place automatically and is called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
EDI enables business partners who work together on the basis of long-term business relationships to convert important business data (such as purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices and article catalogs) into standardized, structured data and send it within seconds. All data is transferred directly from one ERP system to another – across company and country boundaries. This way manual processing is eliminated, which reduces errors, accelerates processes and improves data quality.
EDI therefore improves the efficiency of your own organization, simplifies and intensifies business relationships with partner companies and gives companies a competitive edge over competitors who do not use EDI. Companies demonstrate both, competence and high service quality to their business partners. And in the automotive industry, “just-in-time/just-in-sequence” deliveries for batch size 1 are only made possible by EDI. Standardized data formats for messages and uniform communication channels for their transmission are prerequisites for the use of EDI. To achieve this, both business partners need suitable EDI software.
