What is EDI Onboarding Deployment?
Effective and transparent relationships between business partners are now a lever of competitiveness in a dynamic ecosystem. Customers and suppliers are looking for strategies to optimize operations in order to improve information flows and create value.
EDI Onboarding is an approach that involves bringing customers and suppliers on board in a series of steps aimed at achieving computerized data exchanges.
You then decide on the modes of communication, the types of messages to exchange, and the file formats to use according to your information systems.
