What is integration with EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a process where orders, invoices, and other business transactions are passed electronically between business systems. It requires a specialised system to manage this process, and the expertise to keep it going.

What is actually involved

Many Crossfire customers use systems such as Cin7 Core to manage their inventory. To enable data to flow in and out of these systems when data is being exchanged between trading partners, these different systems have developed APIs to allow specified data to pass through. To pull/push data in and out of these systems, an integration solution provider such as Crossfire has to develop a way to enable certain messages to pass through transports (such as FTP and AS2). Calls to the systems API's will need to be developed and once these are set up it allows for EDI to take place.
