For decades, companies relied on on-premises EDI systems—servers and translators installed inside their IT landscape. While reliable, they were costly to maintain, slow to scale, and hard to upgrade.
Now, businesses are shifting toward Cloud-Based EDI Integration platforms, which deliver EDI as a service.
Cloud-Based EDI simplifies integration, speeds up partner onboarding, and reduces costs—making it the go-to choice for modern supply chains.
What is Cloud-Based EDI?
It’s an EDI solution hosted on the cloud, managed by a vendor, and accessible via the internet. Companies don’t need to install heavy software or manage servers; instead, they subscribe to an EDI service provider who handles connectivity, standards, and compliance.
Key Benefits
-
Lower Costs – No upfront investment in servers or complex software.
-
Scalability – Easily add new trading partners, formats, or volumes.
-
Faster Onboarding – Pre-built connectors for retailers, healthcare payers, logistics, etc.
-
Global Compliance – Support for PEPPOL, e-Invoicing, HIPAA, GS1 standards.
-
Real-Time Visibility – Dashboards for monitoring transactions (e.g., 850 POs, 856 ASNs, 810 Invoices).
When to Choose Cloud EDI?
-
If your company is growing and adding multiple trading partners quickly.
-
If you want to replace legacy EDI translators and reduce IT overhead.
-
If your industry requires regulatory compliance (e.g., healthcare, retail, government).
