1 Choose the right EDI software

The first step is to choose an EDI software that suits your business needs and goals. You should consider factors such as the type and volume of EDI transactions you handle, the standards and formats you use, the security and compliance requirements you have, and the integration options you need. You should also compare the features, costs, and support of different EDI software providers and select the one that offers the best value and reliability.

It is important to implement EDI tools that are flexible to handle the different scenarios each trading partner requires. Even more important, your EDI tools need seamless access to your ERP APIs and data to ensure timely, flexible, adaptable and comprehensive solutions. Implement Continuous Improvement with your EDI tools or you will find time consuming manual processes and work arounds creeping into your EDI operations. Keep your eye on tools that keep total automation in the forefront.

3 Monitor your EDI software and tools

Once you are live with your EDI software and tools, you should monitor them regularly to ensure they work smoothly and efficiently. You should track the status, progress, and performance of your EDI transactions and documents, and identify and resolve any errors, issues, or delays. You should also review the reports, analytics, and feedback from your EDI software and tools, and use them to improve your EDI processes and outcomes. You should also update your EDI software and tools as needed to keep up with the changing standards, formats, and requirements of EDI.

4 Train your EDI staff and users

Another important step is to train your EDI staff and users on how to use your EDI software and tools effectively and securely. You should provide them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to handle your EDI transactions and documents, and to troubleshoot any problems or questions. You should also educate them on the benefits, rules, and best practices of EDI, and encourage them to share their feedback and suggestions on how to improve your EDI software and tools.

5 Communicate with your EDI partners

Finally, you should communicate with your EDI partners on how to ensure your EDI software and tools work together. You should establish clear and consistent expectations, agreements, and protocols with your EDI partners on how to exchange EDI transactions and documents, and how to handle any issues or disputes. You should also communicate any changes, updates, or enhancements to your EDI software and tools, and coordinate with your EDI partners on how to implement them. You should also seek and provide feedback on how to improve your EDI software and tools.

The precursor to EDI is simply being able to access, view, edit, transform and compile your organisation's data across multiple disparate internal, external and/or SaaS sources. My comments here are focused on a tool for integrating your business solution landscape in readiness for EDI with your supply chain partners. The emergence of GraphQL-based solutions is rapidly evolving how enterprises view integrations and ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions. So if you have challenges bringing together your data what do you do… I would want to put one open-source solution in particular on your radar… Graphweaver.com #graphweaver
