What is EDI and EDI compliance?
EDI is an abbreviation for electronic data interchange. EDI is essentially a system and standardized language that allows trading partners to communicate electronically, automatically, instead of faxing, emailing and other transmission of paper documents.
EDI compliance refers to the ability to send and receive electronic documents in the specific data format that your retail partner requires, every time you exchange documents and transactions. To learn more about EDI, check out our EDI 101 guide.
Our EDI testing service will prepare you to meet the compliance requirements of your retail customers –whether you’re adding a new retail partner or expanding an existing relationship.
