Application Programming Interfaces are perhaps best thought of as the digital connectors between disparate systems and processes in the supply chain ecosystem. They play a vital part in automating functions, improving your company’s real-time visibility into operations and paving the way for sound, speedy decision-making.

As a digital communication ‘language’ that eases the exchange of documentation between trading partners, Electronic Data Interchange is no longer optional for businesses hoping to remain competitive. As more and more entities recognize the ability of EDI to boost operational efficiency, cut costs and increase accuracy, they also see the need for capable EDI staffing solutions. 

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) consist of tools and protocols that allow different software applications to communicate with one another, specifically through endpoints. APIs provide a standardized way for one system to access the data or services of another system.  

Key Takeaways

• Move beyond traditional EDI limitations by integrating EDI into your organization’s workflows. This will allow you to achieve improved operational efficiency and result in cost savings.
