EDI Integration with your suppliers

As the speed of business increases, companies need to be able to exchange information with their trading partners as rapidly, securely and reliably as possible. The integration of orders, invoices and other key documents can save significant time and cost for both customers and suppliers.

With over 20 years’ history, EDI Plus understands B2B integration. We offer a range of EDI solutions, from full Integration with your suppliers to generalised or branded Web Portals for those trading partners who are not EDI enabled. This allows you trade digitally with all trading partners efficiently and more profitably.

Flexible EDI integration with suppliers

For your trading partners who are able to support EDI, we can accommodate any message formats and communications protocols they use. We encourage the use of secure Internet-based communications protocols such as AS2 and SFTP to reduce your costs, but if a supplier requires a Value Added Network (VAN), we can provide VAN connections too. 

Supplier web portals

Web Portals provide an easy way to achieve full integration with your total supply chain. Some trading partners may not have the necessary systems to exchange electronic messages. Others may not do enough business with you to make integration cost effective. In both situations, Web Portals are a simple and efficient solution.
