Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of routine business transactions. These transactions include such documents as purchase orders, invoices, inquiries, planning, acknowledgements, pricing, order status, scheduling, test results, shipping and receiving, payments, and financial reporting.
What makes EDI work?

EDI permits hundreds of unrelated companies to communicate and process business transactions electronically. EDI works because it relies on a standard system that everyone can use and is developed under the guidelines of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the coordinator for national standards in the United States.
The advantages of EDI

It saves a lot of trees. Traditionally, the manufacture and sale of new products and services has been accompanied by a long paper trail consisting of order forms, invoices, bills of lading, and a variety of documents containing specific but crucial data.

C-TPAT is a joint government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chain and border security. C-TPAT recognizes that customs can provide the highest level of security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the supply chain-importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers. Through this initiative, customs are asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.
