What does the future look like for EDI and how can you get your business prepared?

You might know everything there is to know about EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), but it's crucial to keep an eye on new advancements in the field.

Electronic transfers, particularly for financial transactions, will inevitably become the new normal. It is already the norm for Scandinavian countries where Peppol is commonly used to send e-invoices in a more standardised way (find out more in series 4, episode 11 of our podcast). As electronic data transfer could become the standard procedure for the UK, being prepared and getting ahead of the game will put you in good stead for the future.

Our app, Clever EDI makes sending system-to-system transactions from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central simple, giving you all of the functionality you need. It makes electronic trading an advantage for users of Dynamics 365 Business Central rather than a hinderance.

Where does Clever EDI improve the process of transferring data?

As well as improved accuracy, productivity and time management, Clever EDI takes care of the entire process when transferring data between yourself, your customers, vendors and 3PLs.
If your current process of data transfer involves sending PDFs for the recipient to manually input the data into their system, Clever EDI will consign this to history. As a complete end-to-end solution, Clever EDI allows you to transfer data directly, system to system, removing the need for manual data input on receipt of a document or message. 

Whether you trade with companies big or small, transferring data system to system is the easiest way and most secure to do business and here at Clever Dynamics, we’ll take care of the whole process for you.
