Mapping defines how data is translated from the format used in your business systems into the standardised EDI format your trading partners require. If you have multiple trading partners, they will typically require receiving data in different formats.
Mapping is typically managed by your EDI provider who ensures that the data you send complies with the EDI requirements of your trading partners. At the same time, the EDI provider ensures that the incoming data is converted into the file format your business systems, such as your ERP system, can process.
”Here in our department, we are not specialists in EDI solutions. We understand how they work, but we don’t have experience with the actual development. TrueCommerce’s primary focus is developing EDI solutions. They have many years of experience ensuring that we, as a company, can exchange and convert all document types and formats with our partners. Additionally, I know that TrueCommerce has handled similar projects for other Nordic companies. That is why we approached TrueCommerce with high expectations for help.” – Martin Larsen, IT Manager, KIMS.
