What does EDI mean in shipping terms?

EDI is short for Electronic Data Interchange. We use it on a daily basis for order receipt and customer invoicing. It saves considerable paperwork and also gives you the additional assurance that the data you have entered follows your transport. The risk of keying-in errors in relation to goods type, amount, address and delivery time is thus reduced to an absolute minimum.
Electronic Data Interchange - EDI is a standardized method for transferring data between different computer systems or computer networks. It is commonly used for e-commerce purposes, such as sending orders to warehouses, tracking shipments, and creating invoices.
