EDI Is Evolving, Not Obsolete
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) remains a critical tool in industries like logistics, manufacturing, and retail, enabling secure, standardized exchange of documents such as invoices and orders. Its reliability reduces errors, boosts compliance, and increases efficiency by automating manual tasks and integrating with key business systems.
While APIs offer real-time flexibility, EDI excels at handling high-volume, repetitive transactions. Many businesses now use a hybrid approach, combining both technologies. With modern SaaS platforms, EDI is more accessible to small and mid-sized companies, and continues to evolve through integration with AI, APIs, and cloud technologies.
