But, in the food business EDI is an essential ingredient of a winning mix. Any interruption in service can impact on shelf availability with consequences to the bottom line of both the food supplier and your customers. Just like many businesses producing perishable food, electronic data interchange (EDI) is a vital tool for you, driving round-the-clock operations, reducing costs and securing efficiencies.
