Our take
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the exchange of business documents in electronic format, that enables buyers and sellers to exchange documents such as invoices, purchase orders and shipping forms. Though EDI solutions are undeniably faster than previous paper-based documents sharing, it can still be a lengthy process that slows down supply chains.
This is where Orderful steps in, with its super-fast EDI solution that enables users to go live with new trading partners in days rather than months. The company has achieved this through an API-based platform that standardizes integrations and streamlines testing. It claims that this approach is ten times faster than other options.
Orderful has raised consistent and considerable funding over the years, enabling it to scale up operations, expand its offering and grow its network to offer more value. A recent addition to the platform is AI-based rules that the company uses to tackle issues like data misalignment, which speeds up error handling for customers.
