With its capability to send a large volume of information at once, EDI aids SQL integration with legacy systems.
In contrast to manual-based and time-consuming data entry, EDI’s efficiency and capability are unmatched. While EDI’s diversity is limited based on timings rather than real-time information, it still remains heavily used within the logistics industry. Implementing EDI integrations with Axis TMS will streamline communication and optimize order processing, leading to improved business performance.
