FAQ
-
EDI is a concept that includes both older and newer technologies used to transfer structured documents between companies. API (Application Programming Interface) is a more modern method for integrating applications and exchanging data in real-time. EDI is usually batch-based, while API allows for more dynamic and real-time communication.
It’s worth remembering that both EDI and API require some form of mapping for different systems to understand and interpret the content of the exchanged information.
In EDI exchanges, APIs can also be used for communication and integration between the EDI provider and business systems.
-
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange, a concept that enables the automated transfer of business documents between companies in an agreed digital format. This can include invoices, orders, delivery schedules, purchase orders, notifications, bills of lading, price catalogs, or other types of business documents.
EDI systems translate a company’s business documents into a standardized technical format before the documents are sent electronically to the recipient. When the recipient receives the documents, the information can be processed in other systems and in the correct format through the translation done within EDI.
In short, this allows companies to exchange information directly between their business systems without manual intervention.

Absolutely! With an ERP system, you manage your company’s internal processes, but when it comes to automating the flow of orders, invoices, and delivery notifications with customers and suppliers, EDI is invaluable. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) complements ERP by sending and receiving business documents automatically – without manual entry. The result? Reduced administration, fewer errors, and faster processes. Together, ERP and EDI create a seamless chain from internal planning to external communication – saving time, reducing costs, and strengthening business relationships.
-
Getting started with EDI can vary depending on the scope and both internal and external requirements and needs. If you have many trading partners (customers or suppliers) to contact and set up for communication, it generally takes more time to get everyone in place. If you choose to have an integrated solution, several tasks need to be performed by Viaduct and your ERP provider. In many cases, Viaduct already has prior knowledge of your trading partners, which usually speeds up the implementation.
-
It primarily depends on how automated you want to work. Viaduct provides an easy-to-use web interface, which is very useful if you lack or have a business system that cannot handle the various business documents. The advantage of an integration with ERP is that the EDI files then automatically end up in your business system with minimal manual intervention and administrative burden.
