In the age of digital transformation, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has become the foundation for secure and seamless communication between business partners. Whether you’re dealing with suppliers, customers, or logistics providers, EDI helps eliminate manual processes, reduce errors, and streamline operations across your entire supply chain.
As businesses grow and data exchange becomes more complex, the need for a reliable and automated EDI solution becomes critical. That’s where it comes in — with its powerful integration platform (iPaaS) and advanced EDI services, it makes data exchange not only easier but also safer and smarter.
What is EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the structured, computer-to-computer exchange of business documents in a standardized electronic format. Instead of relying on emails, paper, or PDFs, companies use EDI to send documents like:
-
Invoices
-
Purchase Orders
-
Shipping Notices
-
Inventory Reports
-
Payment Confirmations
The goal of EDI is to automate repetitive processes, eliminate manual data entry, and improve speed and accuracy in business transactions.
With the growing demand for fast, secure, and automated communication, EDI has become essential across industries such as retail, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and finance.

5 Ways to Improve Your EDI Process with HubBroker
To get the most out of EDI, it’s important to align it with your business systems and workflows. Here’s how you can optimize EDI for better performance and efficiency:
1. Integrate EDI with Your Core Systems
Rather than using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as an isolated or auxiliary tool, it’s essential to fully integrate it with the critical systems that drive your business—such as your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, accounting platform, or warehouse management solution. This integration enables seamless, real-time data synchronization between systems, eliminates the need for repetitive manual data entry, and ensures consistency and accuracy across your operations.
2. Connect with Major Shipping Providers
Manually inputting shipment information can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. HubBroker simplifies this by enabling automated data exchange with leading logistics and courier service providers. This automation ensures that shipping details—such as addresses, tracking numbers, and order contents—are transmitted instantly and accurately, helping you avoid delays, reduce operational errors, and improve delivery efficiency.
3. Automate More Tasks
Every manual interaction in your EDI workflow opens the door to potential human errors and inefficiencies. With HubBroker, you can automate repetitive and time-sensitive tasks like invoice creation, overdue payment reminders, and validation of incoming and outgoing data. This level of automation reduces your reliance on manual labor, increases operational speed, and allows your team to focus on strategic business functions rather than routine administrative work.
4. Standardize Packing & Order Fulfillment
Establishing consistent procedures for packing and order fulfillment is crucial for maintaining an efficient EDI process, especially when working with retailers and supply chain partners who demand adherence to specific packaging, labeling, and documentation standards. By implementing standardized practices, you ensure compliance, reduce errors in shipment handling, and build a more reliable and professional distribution process.
5. Customize to Your Supply Chain
Attempting to apply a one-size-fits-all EDI solution to a unique business workflow often leads to inefficiencies and resistance from your team. HubBroker offers flexible EDI configurations that are designed to align with your current processes, business structure, and industry-specific requirements. This tailored approach enhances adoption, minimizes workflow disruptions, and ensures that the integration supports your operational goals rather than complicating them.
