Within the freight and logistics industry, there are a number of specific tasks to which EDI can be
applied very successfully. Data exchange between trading partners can deliver accuracy, efficiency and
productivity.
While the Customer and Partner EDI module provides a bi-directional interface for the electronic exchange of
consignment information, some customers and partners may wish to take data exchange one step further and
also receive their invoices electronically from the freight operator.
Fully integrated with ForwardOffice Sales Invoicing, this optional EDI module provides for the electronic
transmission of invoice information, to selected trading partners. It provides complete support for the
variety of transaction types that can be created either manually or automatically through the main
invoicing functions.
