EDI integration, how will it help?

Benefits of EDI Integration

EDI is a tool used to accelerate the flow of business documents from ‘computer to computer’. ERP Integration fuels this process by automating manual processes like re-keying data into your back office system and streamlining internal business processes.

Time

An integrated EDI solution becomes necessary when a business is looking to quicken order processing and reduce lead times. By eliminating administrative burden and centralising the flow of documents into your back office system, integration software frees up time to be spent on other critical areas of the business. By working in conjunction, EDI and an ERP system can shorten the order to cash cycle and reduce the need for human intervention and error.

Service

The time saved with integration can increase a company’s service both externally and internally. Externally it allows orders and transactions to be processed more accurately, improving strategic relationships and visibility over trading networks. Internally it facilitates efficiencies across the board, most pertinently in accounts departments where invoices can be processed automatically, vastly reducing potential errors and effort taken to key invoices and process payments.
