Advantages of EDI

In a nutshell, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the exchange of files from ERP to ERP between trading partners in formats whose standards are set by international organizations. In this way, the flow of commercial documents between all companies in the supply chain is controlled. Commercial documents such as orders, invoices, delivery notes, etc. are fully integrated with in-house applications using international standards. In this way, businesses can use their data in a standardized format within the workflow, providing many advantages. 90% of national main industries, international main and large sub-industries, suppliers and local industries require EDI for data flow with business partners. We have gathered the main differences between a transaction that can be realized with various EDI solutions produced for use in various business lines from different sectors and a transaction that does not involve EDI.

It supports the processing of electronic data in almost any standard or format. With a document on the international market, your business documents are processed in formats whose standards are set by international organizations. Therefore, the international standardization of processing facilitates the ability to trade in a single language with your business partners and the ability for your business to conduct partnerships.

Without EDI, files are delivered in different formats, such as flat files of fixed length, flat files of variable length (such as files with the .csv extension), XML files or binary files (such as files with the .pdf extension). But the ability to seamlessly and transparently combine and interpret information from across the organization is near-perfectly provided by an EDI system. Yet, this is not possible without EDI, and inevitably results in problems in the communication flow and inefficient operation of many different information sources that cannot reflect business performance at a high level. With EDI, critical information can be collected, transformed and presented seamlessly and continuously.

Without EDI, the business process is long, the time requirement and therefore the cost load increases. The need for extra labor and tasks for low value-added jobs increases. Production decreases, trade communication slows down. Without EDI, the margin for error is often much higher than with EDI, resulting in commercial complexities. EDI solutions, on the other hand, shorten the delivery times of commercial documents, in other words, increase and improve the speed of data flow. In addition, business processes are accelerated, and the independence of the information environment reduces the need for manual labor, which leads to acceleration and improvement in workflow. Administrative and logistics costs and stocks are also reduced.

With EDI, error-based problems in business relationships are eliminated thanks to a significant reduction in transaction errors and therefore disputes. This improves relations with suppliers. Using a single method of communicating with suppliers is another factor that enhances business sharing and communication. EDI’s results such as creating a secure environment and increasing quality are other dimensions that enhance customer satisfaction.
