EDI: Efficient communication in manufacturing


Companies in the manufacturing industry face constant pressure to work faster, smarter, and more cost-effectively. One key area of focus is streamlining administrative processes — such as handling purchase orders, delivery notes, and invoices. Processing all this paperwork manually is not only time-consuming, but also increases the risk of errors. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) offers a modern solution by automating this exchange.


Why EDI?


International competition and high customer expectations are pushing manufacturers to work more efficiently. Traditional paper-based or manual processes fall short when dozens or even hundreds of orders and invoices need to be processed each day. EDI changes that. Here are some key reasons why more and more manufacturing companies are choosing EDI:

Time savings and increased speed


EDI enables direct system-to-system exchange of transactions, significantly reducing lead times — order processing can go from minutes to seconds. (At one customer, the processing time per order dropped from 8 minutes to just 30 seconds after implementation.)
