Two of the main things to consider when adopting EDI are transaction volume and the resources and support needed to run the solution in the long term.
Volume of EDI Transactions
How many transactions will you be using EDI for? Will it just be with a few customers or suppliers to start with or your entire trading network? By adopting EDI, do you expect your trading network to grow? How many times a day will you be exchanging documents?
The number of transactions will determine how heavy the usage will be and will influence what solution you choose, whether that is a web EDI solution or integrated EDI into your order management system. Our technical experts will be able to advise which solution would be the best fit for your business’s needs.
