Managed EDI services is the outsourcing of electronic data interchange (EDI) operations to a third-party provider. Typically, this requires the organization to subscribe to the provider’s proprietary EDI platform.
Organizations who outsource their EDI seek to reduce the costs and complexity of managing their own EDI infrastructure, and better support their trading partners.
At Remedi, managed EDI services means our resources support an organization’s existing EDI system, unlike traditional outsourced EDI. Our model is attractive to organizations who have made a significant investment in their EDI infrastructure and need qualified resources who can manage it for them.
Consulting and staffing services from Remedi are by assignment. Remedi’s EDI consulting and staffing services include short to long-term engagements, staff augmentation for project work, and when desired, contract-to-hire and full-time placements.
Electronic data interchange (EDI) refers to virtually exchanging business documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Such documents were (and still are) handwritten and either mailed, attached to email, or faxed.
The bulk of EDI transactions occur between B2B buyers and sellers but EDI also makes millions of consumer transactions more convenient. For example, a form of EDI powers e-commerce shopping platforms such as Amazon. Also, automating paper-based transactions saves companies time and avoid cost errors caused by manual processing.
EDI systems exchange information without human intervention. Instead, the system relies on a standardized messaging format that computers can read and interpret. An EDI system needs four components. 1. A device to send and receive the data. 2. An application that translates the data into a standardized format. 3. A connection between the sender and the receiver. 4. An interface that allows users to share data quickly and accurately.
Unlike ACH or ETF, EDI payments are not actual payments, but a type of financial EDI transaction. There are several examples, such an EDI 820. Companies send an EDI 820 to respond to an EDI 810 (invoice) or EDI 850 (purchase order). An EDI 820 confirms payment details or advises the seller of any adjustment to the payment amount.
System integration unites all components into an infrastructure. The infrastructure has physical and virtual components. The physical components are computers and devices. The virtual components refer to data stored in software, apps, and databases.
Business-to-business (B2B) integration relies on EDI. It makes it possible for partners in the supply chain to communicate using a variety of devices and protocols.
Enterprise application integration (EAI) is the process of connecting different software applications and systems within an organization so that they can share data and work together seamlessly.
EAI enables different departments and systems to work together as a cohesive whole. EAI helps improve productivity, reduce errors, and provides a more streamlined experience for employees and customers.
Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a highly secure technology that enables organizations to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between systems and trading partners within an organization. It provides encryption, error detection, and automatic retrying for reliable data transfer.
MFT also offers control and visibility over an organization’s data flows with centralized management, monitoring, and reporting features for easy tracking and regulatory compliance.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs are pieces of special software that let two applications talk to each other.

EDI systems are used to electronically exchange data such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices between different organizations. ERP systems integrate and automate a wide range of business functions such as finance, accounting, and supply chain management.
When an organization uses both ERP and EDI systems, they can work together to streamline their operations and improve efficiency. For example, an organization's ERP system may generate a purchase order, which can then be automatically transmitted to a supplier's EDI system.
