Integrated EDI software with E21 ERP

Transact with other businesses electronically

EDI (electronic data interchange) software allows businesses to transact with other businesses electronically using a common set of transaction formats and file mappings to minimize user interaction with the flow of transactional information through and between business systems.

A challenge many manufacturing and distribution companies face, however, is that, more often than not, their distribution or ERP manufacturing software does not have an out-of-the-box EDI ERP integration.

With E21 ERP, manufacturers and distributors can leverage built-in EDI software that supports a number of EDI transaction file formats, including X12, XML, AS2, and EDIFACT. Unlike many ERP systems that offer bolt-ons or loose EDI ERP integrations to separate EDI providers, E21 includes a built-in EDI mapping tool that houses all mappings for the organization’s trading partners, and these EDI mappings can be readily copied to create new mappings to use as a starting point when onboarding new trading partners. Whether engaging in EDI transactions with customers or suppliers, E21 features an extensive EDI mapping library to leverage for onboarding future partners.

Perhaps most importantly, manufacturers and distributors can leverage the E21 EDI ERP integration by utilizing E21 as their EDI VAN provider. With E21, there is no need for a third-party EDI translation package or a third-party EDI VAN, giving E21 customers a single supplier relationship for all ERP system, EDI software, and EDI VAN service needs, not to mention the ability to realize significant cost savings with up-front, straightforward EDI VAN pricing.
