Why it’s time to upgrade your EDI processes
With ongoing digital innovation, businesses in almost every sector, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, pharmaceutical, utilities, or construction, increasingly request effective communication through EDI. This request is rapidly being met as the traditional setup and operating costs of EDI fall, leading to implementation into businesses within weeks. Furthermore, advanced API capabilities have emerged to take over proprietary platforms, offering users document conversion abilities and a flexible connection to ease the complexity of EDI processes. The overall result is an enhanced method of communication that is universal, reliable, agile, accessible, and affordable, for all users.
APIs simplify trading partners communication
- Reduce costs
As part of an innovative EDI process, business documents may be converted from their current format into a new format requested by trading partners, be it XML, Factur-X, UBL, X12, etc. Your business can achieve this file transformation without customized development or ERP update. Removing the need for customized development and utilizing standard API calls reduces the overall setup cost, while enhanced API functions help trigger document exchanges easily. - Simplify EDI maintenance
The handling of existing standards such as ANSI ASC X12, UN/EDIFACT, or new ones such as Factur-X, Order-X through an integrated Web-Service process has become much easier to maintain. As for the protocol, a secure Web Service offers more EDI modernity than a specific EDI VAN or EDI proprietary platform. Accessing Web Services through standard internet secured protocol is, therefore, more convenient. - Universal and flexible
Nowadays, document exchanges leverage advanced API Web Service dialogs to address any business requirement better and become increasingly easier to upgrade. More and more trading partners are offering powerful and well-documented APIs to not only standardize EDI data transmission but to enable more flexible ways to communicate with them.

Start to finish EDI automation
Compleo transforms your existing document format (PDF, XML) released from ERP into the desired format (XML, JSON, PDF/A) using the standard norms (EDIFACT, X12, UBL) of the recipient. EDI preparation tasks such as splitting documents into multiple ones, extracting additional data to fulfill documents with regulatory information, and creating envelopes are all part of the standard service offered by Compleo. Compleo then triggers API dialog with the Web Service of the recipient to interchange documents, report status in real-time, get feedback, and launch another process such as notification. This start to finish process is fully automated and offers traceability and security of interchanged documents.
