The Advantages of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has numerous advantages which is why so many businesses adopt it as an effective means of supply chain communication.

One of the most notable advantages is the eradication of human typing errors. This in turn saves money on labour costs and leads to faster and more accurate document processing. Through the elimination of paper you will also save money on:

stationery and printer consumable costs
document storage costs
lost documents
postage costs.

Electronic trading documents can be delivered far more quickly, making the turnaround time from order to delivery much faster. Batches of electronic documents are often sequentially numbered so missing documents can be identified quickly and easily, saving time for your company.

Another advantage of EDI is the competitive edge it will give you over rival companies which have yet to adopt electronic trading. In the eyes of your customer, it will be cheaper and more efficient to do business with you!
