Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has become the backbone of modern supply chain collaboration. Retailers, distributors, and manufacturers increasingly rely on fast, accurate digital document exchange to stay competitive, reduce costs, and meet strict trading partner compliance requirements. At BIS Computer Solutions, we’ve designed our BIS ERP platform to make EDI not just possible but seamlessly integrated into everyday business operations.

Why EDI Matters in Today’s Supply Chains
EDI replaces paper, PDFs, and manual data entry with structured digital transaction, purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and more. Companies that embrace EDI see:
 

• Faster order fulfillment — Documents flow automatically between systems with no human rekeying. 

• Fewer costly errors — Automated data validation reduces chargebacks and shipping mistakes. 

• Improved partner relationships — Compliance with retailer requirements builds trust and avoids penalties. 

• Scalable growth — Adding new customers or vendors becomes simpler without increasing back-office workload.
   

But implementing EDI effectively can be complex. That’s where BIS ERP’s built-in integration with EDI Commerce, the retail industry’s leading EDI network, changes the game.

Deep Integration with SPS Commerce
SPS Commerce connects tens of thousands of retailers, distributors, and manufacturers worldwide. BIS ERP it’s deeply integrated to streamline how your business handles EDI transactions.

Key benefits include:
 

• Plug-and-play partner onboarding — BIS ERP connects to your existing SPS Commerce account so you can add trading partners without custom development. 

• Automated document exchange — Purchase Orders, Advanced Shipping Notices, Invoices, and other standard EDI transactions flow directly into and out of BIS ERP. 

• Real-time compliance checks — Our integration ensures that outgoing documents meet each partner’s unique requirements before transmission. 

• Error monitoring & alerts — Built-in dashboards and notifications flag any transmission issues early, helping you fix problems before they impact fulfillment. 

• Scalable volume handling — Whether you process dozens or thousands of transactions daily, BIS ERP and EDI Commerce work together to handle high volumes without slowing your team down. 

EDI-Driven Efficiency Across Your Business
Our ERP doesn’t treat EDI as an isolated add-on. It’s fully woven into the operational flow of your business:
 

• Purchasing — Vendor POs are created and sent via EDI automatically, with confirmation messages routed back into the system. 

• Order Management — Customer EDI orders arrive in real time, triggering automated allocation and fulfillment steps. 

• Warehouse & Shipping — ASN generation is streamlined so carriers and customers get precise shipment details instantly. 

• Finance — EDI invoicing syncs with your AR processes, accelerating payment cycles and reducing manual reconciliation.
   

The result: fewer keystrokes, fewer errors, and a supply chain that runs at digital speed.

Why Companies Choose BIS ERP for EDI
Many ERP systems claim EDI compatibility but require complex third-party add-ons or expensive custom development. BIS ERP was built with native EDI Commerce integration in mind meaning:
 

• Lower setup costs and faster go-lives. 

• Ongoing compliance updates without disrupting your workflow. 

• A single point of support — one partner who understands both your ERP and your EDI integration. 

Our clients in distribution, manufacturing, and retail consistently report measurable time savings, cost reductions, and improved partner satisfaction once they move EDI fully into BIS ERP.
