15 Feb EDI: Connecting Today’s Global Supply Chain Partners
The Shift from In-House EDI to Outsourced Solutions
Suppliers are moving away from outdated, in-house electronic data interchange (EDI) systems that were expensive, complex, and poorly suited for global operations. Legacy tools like Sterling GenTran and WebMethods couldn’t scale or connect with low-tech factories and overseas partners, leading to communication gaps, manual processes, and visibility issues across the supply chain.
Outsourced B2B integration (B2Bi) solutions now offer a streamlined, browser-based alternative that supports real-time collaboration with global partners. These platforms enable factories and 3PLs to receive orders, print labels, and confirm shipments with minimal tech requirements; boosting efficiency, reducing delays, and making full supply chain automation a reality.
