Frequently Asked Questions
What is Web EDI used for in the digital supply chain?
Web EDI allows suppliers to trade digitally without full EDI integration, providing a web-based way to receive orders and submit confirmations, ASNs, and invoices.
Which suppliers is Web EDI best suited for?
Web EDI is ideal for low- to medium-volume suppliers or those without the capability or volume to justify EDI investment.
Does this give buyers control over the trading process?
Yes. Buyers define the required steps — such as order acknowledgement and shipping notification — before suppliers can invoice.
Does Web EDI replace EDI?
No. Web EDI complements Managed EDI, enabling you to digitise trading across your entire supplier base regardless of technical maturity.
