B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

Since its debut more than 50 years ago, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has transformed the face of supply chain logistics -- for the better. Across industries, EDI eases the burdens of supply chain management: It saves money, reduces errors, speeds goods movement and improves customer satisfaction. And the future for EDI is even brighter.

Across business types and industries, data now reigns supreme. But whether you get the most out of yours depends on the efficiency of your data integration.

Digital transformation within the context of the manufacturing industry takes its own form. It includes the integration of digital technology into virtually all areas of manufacturing.  While it does involve automating existing processes to increase efficiency and reduce human error, it goes well beyond by radically altering legacy manufacturing operations and reimagining the business model.

Businesses today need easy collaboration with their trading partners. Without it, they risk falling behind. That’s where B2B integration is key, as it streamlines communication and data exchange between entities.

To achieve the streamline operations and sustainable growth that can result from using electronic data interchange, your organization will need to effectively manage its EDI processes. Doing this requires deep expertise and knowledge of instituting efficient practices, making a partnership with an experienced EDI managed services provider invaluable.
