EDI is the automated exchange of purchase orders, shipment notices, invoices, and other business documents between trading partners in standard formats. Instead of manual data entry from paper documents, EDI feeds data directly into your ERP. Manufacturers need EDI to reduce order errors, accelerate transactions, improve cash flow, and meet customer requirements, especially from large retailers and OEM suppliers. Modern EDI integrated with your ERP provides visibility into supply chain activity and enables faster response to demand changes.
-
In-house EDI requires staff with specialized knowledge, ongoing software maintenance, and responsibility for system uptime and security. Managed EDI services outsource these functions to a dedicated team who handles configuration, monitoring, trading partner onboarding, and issue resolution. Managed services reduce your IT burden, provide access to broader expertise, and scale easily as you add trading partners. You pay a predictable monthly fee instead of carrying full-time EDI staff, lowering total cost and allowing your team to focus on core business.
-
EDI maps documents like purchase orders and shipments directly into QAD without manual re-keying, automating procurement and order fulfillment workflows. Strategic's EDI integration captures critical supply chain data in QAD for real-time visibility into orders, receipts, and shipments. This automation reduces errors, speeds invoice processing, and improves cash flow. QAD's configurability enables customization to your trading partner requirements. Strategic's SIG EDI solution and managed services ensure seamless QAD integration and ongoing performance.
-
EDI failures can disrupt order fulfillment if a transaction doesn't reach your ERP or gets stuck in queue. Managed EDI services monitor transactions in real-time, alert your team of failures, and have retry logic to recover messages automatically. Strategic's EDI services include failover systems and backup procedures to prevent data loss. We track all transactions, provide detailed logs for audit compliance, and troubleshoot partner connectivity issues quickly. Proactive monitoring and redundancy minimize disruption to your supply chain.
-
SIG EDI is Strategic's proprietary EDI solution optimized for manufacturers. It uses single-map translation technology, reducing configuration time and costs compared to traditional point-to-point EDI. SIG EDI supports rapid trading partner onboarding and scales as your partner count grows without proportional cost increases. It integrates tightly with QAD and NetSuite, providing native visibility into EDI transactions within your ERP. SIG EDI also offers managed services, giving you expert oversight without the overhead of an in-house EDI team.
