EDI

Short for Electronic Data Interchange, the transfer of data between different companies using networks, such as the internet. As more and more companies get connected to the Internet, EDI is becoming increasingly important as an easy mechanism for companies to buy, sell and trade information.

EDI is the computer-to-computer exchange of structured information, by agreed message standards, from one computer application to another by electronic means and with a minimum of human intervention. In common usage, EDI is understood to mean specific interchange methods agreed upon by national or international standard bodies for the transfer of business transaction data, with one typical application being the automated purchase of goods and services.

EDI documents contain the same data that would normally be found in a paper document used for the same organisational function. It may have other information if the parties agree to include it. Therefore, EDI represents the best possible use of technology in areas of business where communication is important to the smooth flow of information.

Brunel have been using EDI for 10 years with the majority of sales invoices and orders being sent and received using it. Brunel has invested extensively in their EDI technology and will continue to upgrade and use into the foreseeable future.
