EDI integration connects electronic data interchange systems with business applications, enabling seamless, automated data exchange between trading partners. The integration reduces manual effort, improves accuracy, and enhances operational productivity.
Boomi supports EDI by providing built-in connectors and frameworks for smooth electronic data interchange. It enables businesses to automate B2B transactions and ensures compliance with industry standards like X12, EDIFACT, and HL7.
The two widely used EDI data formats are X12, which is primarily used in the US, and EDIFACT, which is mainly adopted in the EU.
EDI integration enables batch-based, standardized electronic data exchange between businesses, while API integration facilitates real-time, flexible data communication between systems. APIs are faster and more dynamic, whereas EDI is structured and widely used for B2B transactions.
The Boomi B2B/EDI dashboard offers a searchable view of all processed EDI documents and human-readable access to key data in the order-to-cash process, enabling better visibility and business optimization.
