Count On Our Years of Experience to Help You
EDI is mature and highly effective in the auto industry. Over 10,000 companies are EDI active and using it for customer service, transport, and purchasing. Auto, truck, agricultural, and construction equipment companies support the ANSI X12 or EDIFACT standards published by AIAG, the industry leader.
A complication for companies serving the aftermarket is the requirement to support GS1 for price and catalog documents (GS1 is standardized XML tags). Fortunately, the standards of mass merchants (such as Wal-Mart) and specialty retailers (such as NAPA) have a great deal of commonality. The twin components of EDI (format and transmission method) have evolved over the years to increase efficiency. However, the differences in standards continue to challenge the cost conscious medium sized manufacturers.
