EDI Expansion
Broadening the use of Electronic Data Interchange to improve efficiency in transactions between suppliers and the organization.
Implications
The process of broadening the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems across more business partners, transaction types, or geographic regions, often to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve supply chain integration.
Example
Example: A global logistics company expands its EDI system to include more international suppliers, improving coordination and reducing delays in cross-border shipments.
Related Terms
Different from initial EDI implementation, which focuses on setting up the system, expansion involves scaling the system's use to achieve broader benefits across the organization.
