What is EDI?
Simply put, EDI (electronic data interchange) is the exchange of business information directly between business software. Think of a purchase order being created in one company’s accounting package, and it ‘magically’ appears in the supplier’s software; no email, no PDF, no manual data entry. Well, it’s not magic, it’s EDI!

Case study
v2food got critical project back on track by switching to MessageXchange
After months of struggling to get its EDI provider to listen and understand its requirements, v2food turned to MessageXchange to deliver a critical EDI project within weeks.
“Our switch to MessageXchange has delivered a material YoY cost benefit as well as an EDI partner that is so much more competent, responsive and solution-oriented for both operational issue handling and complex change management.”
“MessageXchange was agile and understood the brief very quickly. They listened properly and focused on solving, not selling. Their support during the transition was extremely responsive. Looking at who we were working with before, I would never go back.”
