What is EDI?

[back to top]


With EDI, the transmission of information and transactions with other businesses is done electronically, allowing for greater accuracy and speed of communication. Businesses that previously used paper or fax to communicate with their customers and/or suppliers can improve their processes dramatically utilising EDI. For example, purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices and other documents can all be digitally transmitted to customers and suppliers without going through manual processes anymore. Extensive time and cost savings can be generated through this streamlined process.

How will the EDI solution be implemented?

[back to top]


SPS Commerce will provide an EDI solution specific to a customer's needs. It will provide the end-to-end EDI solution, from implementation to support. It will handle the data mapping and translation/conversion of data in each and every document that goes into and out of the EDI. 


SPS Commerce will ensure that the EDI solution works with DEAR Inventory. It will also be scalable and can integrate with any system you may want to connect to in the future.



To illustrate, during pick/pack and ship, a master file that includes every single field from a purchase order, an invoice, and other relevant documents, if any, will be created. Using the collected data, SPS Commerce will build the connectivity between your system and your partner's system, ensuring that the order is created in both systems.
