FAQ
-
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.
-
Yes, EDI is secure if implemented correctly. It typically includes security measures such as encryption, secure communication protocols, and authentication to protect sensitive business documents. By outsourcing the operation of an EDI solution, the user does not have to deal with the administration.
-
Then EDI is something you should look into further. The concept helps companies digitize all types of business flows and minimizes the need for emails, PDFs, and printouts. Contact us to find out if we can support your specific needs.

- EDIFACT: Primarily used in Europe and internationally.
- ODETTE: Used in the automotive industry, especially in Europe.
- VDA: Used in the German automotive industry.
- ANSI X12: Most common in North America.
In addition to these classic EDI formats, there are also good opportunities to exchange business documents according to the Peppol standard, with invoices being the most frequently used. However, other message types such as orders, order responses, delivery notifications, and price catalogs are becoming increasingly common.
