EDI vs. API
A quick overview

|---|---|---|
| Ease of integration | Complex and slow | Easy and fast |

| Realtime validations | Not possible | Possible |
| Ability to build custom solutions | Difficult | Easy |

Why EDI-as-API ?
APIs are far easier to deal with, and thats the contrarian truth
Faster onboarding & better control
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.
Realtime validation for 100% compliance
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.
Focus on your business problems
Our API eliminates the need for EDI expertise & infrastructure. Your team can focus on your primary business problems instead of being overrun by EDI headaches.
Greater visibility
API lets you integrate EDI data with your reports, KPI, ERP easily. Getting information out of a traditional EDI system is painful
