What is EDI/API?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Application Programming Interface (API) are the electronic exchange of data between two or more parties. EDI/API helps businesses bridge the data gap between various trading partners in the supply chain to communicate product and shipment information accurately and quickly. As businesses continue to outsource their logistics services, 3PLs have become synonymous with Supply Chain. As such, they have become increasingly responsible for being “technologically capable”, including their ability to handle direct EDI/API with the various trading partners in the supply chain.

Why Use
EDI/API?





EDI/API allows warehouse to be more automated with their flow of data which will save time for the end-user and improves the quality of data. In addition, becoming EDI/API capable allows businesses to expand their service offering into new industries, such as retail distribution, by offering retail EDI compliance or other common EDI/API standards.

Benefits of EDI/API

EDI/API comes with many advantages, all of which will help you increase efficiency, save time and money.
