EDI for Accounting

Accounting systems will benefit from EDI in many ways, for example we would translate the information received via EDI document into the required file type that will be imported directly into the accounting software, this replaces manually entering data and also eliminates errors commonly made by keying data into the software. Also by exporting data for invoices directly from your accounting system we can take that file and generate EDI invoices and transmit them directly to your clients as they require.
