Manual data entry. Misplaced orders. Frustrated customers. 

If your business spends too much time chasing documents and fixing errors, you're losing more than productivity—you're losing momentum. Flow’s EDI streamlines trading partner connections and gives your team real-time operational control, making growth simpler and reducing administrative chaos. 

What is EDI? 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the structured, automated exchange of business documents between different organisations and their software systems. It replaces manual processes by enabling systems to communicate directly—whether it's invoices, purchase orders, shipping notices or inventory updates. 

With a reliable internet connection, a capable accounting system, and a robust EDI solution, businesses can rapidly automate their transaction workflows. This is more than document exchange—it's the foundation of scalable, intelligent business automation. 

The Benefits of EDI 

Implementing EDI transforms how businesses operate by: 

• Reducing costs associated with manual data entry and paperwork 

• Eliminating human error from re-keyed data and manual processing 

• Improving data accuracy, visibility and timeliness 

• Accelerating invoicing and improving cash flow 

• Lowering administrative overhead and consumable costs 

• Strengthening trading partner relationships through reliable, timely interactions 

For organisations dealing with high volumes of data or multiple suppliers and customers, EDI is no longer optional—it’s an operational necessity. As many supply-chains require compliance with specific EDI standards, having a flexible and responsive EDI solution positions businesses to grow with minimal friction.
