  1. Blog4: Datatrans-inc.com What Does EDI Stand For And What Is Its Usage The first question that pops into your mind as soon as you hear EDI is that What does EDI stands for? And also why is it used? Well we have got you covered with an answer for that. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a universal language used to exchange clear-cut private data between two entities and it is not proposed for a human reading. It is specially developed and designed to exchange information between device supported applications, one from the supplier side and other from buyer’s end. A trading associate maintains and exchanges data in a layout which is exclusively designed and understood by the organization. In order to make an association with such partner, the supplier should assemble a process to handle the information sent by the partner and this process increases with the number of trading partners affecting the time, cost and complexity. The development of EDI technology has altered the face of the business economy by dropping costs as compared to the postal service which was used for exchanging business information. Here are some of it benefits: Speed: To launch an order or receive a response from any trading partner could be done in minutes, which assist in serving more partners thereby expanding the foundation of the business. Cost: The total spent on paper order as compared to a B2B EDI order has to be in the ratio of 1:100, which saves dollars adding up to the profits. Accuracy and Integrity: The EDI program will be 99.99% accurate but in manual orders, there might be a lot of typing errors. In order to lessen the complexity, everybody needs a stand which will generalize the process of handling all partners with a single process. The design of EDI definitely serves this purpose!
