What Exactly Is EDI and How Does It Work?

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the structured transmission of data between businesses in a standardized electronic format.

Instead of exchanging documents by mail, fax, or email — like purchase orders, invoices, or shipping labels — EDI lets systems talk directly to each other, automatically.

Most businesses don’t know this—but EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) can automate 90% of your supply chain paperwork.

❌ No more PDFs. ❌ No more copy-paste errors. ❌ No more waiting for portal logins.

With EDI, your orders, invoices, shipping notices, and labels talk directly—machine to machine.

💡 In our latest blog, we break down:

🔹 What EDI is 🔹 How it actually works (in plain English) 🔹 A real-life example from e-commerce 🔹 Why ActionEDI is the easiest way to start

If you're a retailer, 3PL, CDW supplier, or Amazon seller—this post is for you.

Top 7 Benefits of EDI in Supply Chain Management

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the digital exchange of standardized documents such as purchase orders (EDI 850), invoices (EDI 810), and shipment notices (EDI 856) between supply chain partners.

By automating the exchange of these critical documents, companies eliminate manual processes, reduce delays, and improve accuracy throughout the supply chain.

EDI supports real-time communication between manufacturers, distributors, 3PLs, and retailers—streamlining everything from procurement to final delivery.

Printing GS1-128 (UCC-128) labels shouldn’t require a developer, a 12-tab spreadsheet, and a prayer.

And yet…

That’s the reality for too many SMEs trying to stay compliant with big-box retailers like:

📦 Walmart

📦 Amazon

📦 Target

📦 CVS|

Here’s the truth no one’s saying:

Most label errors aren’t due to the printer…

They’re due to manual entry and lack of automation.

The risks?

⛔ Shipment rejections

💸 Chargebacks

😤 Delayed fulfillment

🧠 Wasted time on IT workarounds

But here’s the good news 👇

We just published a new blog:

✅ What GS1-128 labels are

✅ Why you need them

Ever wonder why your products keep getting flagged for labeling errors?

It might not be your product—it might be your barcodes.

Most people think barcodes are just black-and-white stripes you slap on a box.

But here’s the truth supply chain teams know:

There’s a big difference between barcodes that “look right”...

⬇️ and barcodes that are GS1-compliant and retailer-approved.

Here’s what you need to know:

UPC ≠ GS1

GS1 barcodes aren’t free (but they’re worth it)

Every variation needs its own code (yes—even color and size)

And for pallets? You’ll need GS1-128 with an SSCC

And if you’re selling to Amazon, Walmart, or Target—you can’t afford to get this wrong.

We just published a brand-new blog that breaks it all down:

✅ Cost.

✅ UPC vs GS1.

✅ Label automation.

✅ Compliance.

Got questions like:

❓How many barcodes do I actually need?

❓Are third-party barcodes okay?

❓How do I automate label printing?

✅ This blog has answers.

GS1 barcodes are globally standardized codes that uniquely identify products, cases, or pallets across the supply chain. Each GS1 barcode contains a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), which ensures your product is traceable and recognized by major retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
