Use API to Send & Receive EDI | Zenbridge-EDI-as-API Platform

How API for EDI works - Zenbridge

While there are traditional tools that allow you to perform EDI integrations, API-based EDI platforms such as Zenbridge let you send and receive EDI using API. Basically, you generate EDI files from JSON or XML, and the other way, i.e., convert EDI into JSON or XML.

One API for all EDI standards

You can set up integrations in a few days as opposed to weeks or months. API eliminates the need to understand the whole world of EDI.

Unified platform for all integrations

Our API can validate non-compliance in real time. This means better compliance and elimination of chargebacks. That’s something EDIs can’t do in realtime.

EDI Standards supported by Zenbridge

“Zenbridge is the only EDI-as-API platform to offer all versions and documents of ANSI X12, and EDIFACT, as well as support CSV.

X12

ANSI X12 was developed to cater to B2B requirements of various industries across North America but soon grew in popularity across the world. It has a prominent use case in the healthcare industry due to HIPAA regulations in the US. Today, X12 is used by suppliers, retailers, manufacturers, and logistics, to name a few.

EDIFACT

EDIFACT is the most used EDI standard for B2B communications in Europe. It is used by transportation, manufacturing, logistics, retail, and agriculture industries.

CSV

CSV is a lightweight alternative to EDIFACT and X12 formats. Small businesses that do not manage EDI systems can use CSV format to exchange B2B data in a similar manner to EDI. Zenbridge’s EDI platform helps businesses consume or generate CSV documents for transactions when required.
