Electronic Data Interchange
Get connected with EDI!
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the exchange of electronic business documents between two or more businesses. Your business can benefit by exchanging EDI documents, such as purchase orders, advanced shipping notices, invoices, and acknowledgments, with our systems. Some of the advantages gained by the use of EDI include:
- Reduced purchasing and document handling costs
- Reduced order processing time
- Improved inventory management and cash flow
- Increased data accuracy through decreased manual entry
Boise Building Materials Distribution supports many common EDI business documents in use today.
