    Bridging the EDI Gap with PEDIF

    Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has been the backbone of B2B communication for decades. Yet, many businesses—especially small to mid-sized suppliers—still rely on PDFs and emails to exchange invoices, orders, and confirmations. This creates a critical gap in the supply chain: companies with EDI systems on one side, and non-EDI-capable partners on the other. PEDIF is here to bridge that gap—without requiring your partners to change a thing.

    Understanding the EDI Gap

    While large enterprises often have EDI capabilities, many of their suppliers and smaller partners do not. These partners continue to send and receive documents in PDF or other unstructured formats. As a result, companies must either maintain costly manual processes or deploy complex middleware to convert formats.

    This slows down operations, increases error rates, and prevents full automation. The result? Lost time, missed opportunities, and strained supplier relationships.

    How PEDIF Bridges the Gap

    PEDIF offers a smarter solution. With its advanced fingerprinting technology, PEDIF converts unstructured PDF documents into fully structured, EDI-ready formats. This means businesses can achieve full EDI integration—even with non-EDI-capable partners.

    • Receive PDF orders or invoices from any partner

    • Automatically convert them into structured formats like XML, EDIFACT, or JSON

    • Deliver the data directly into your ERP, procurement, or accounting system

    • Maintain 100% accuracy without using OCR or templates

    Benefits of EDI Without the Hassle

    • No need to onboard partners to EDI networks

    • Eliminate manual data entry and reduce errors
