Modern EDI integration connects ERP systems like NetSuite and SAP with trading partners through real-time, automated data exchange, streamlining procurement, accelerating supply chain operations, and eliminating manual errors.

Procurement and supply chain teams today rely on speed, accuracy, and seamless coordination with vendors. However, legacy EDI tools and disconnected processes—like spreadsheets, email, and manual uploads—slow down order processing, increase errors, and limit scalability.

Real-time EDI integration enables the automated exchange of documents such as purchase orders, shipment confirmations (ASNs), and invoices directly within ERP systems, reducing operational overhead and supporting scalable, accurate vendor communication.

Learn how Celigo’s B2B Manager for EDI gives organizations complete control over their EDI workflows, offering real-time automation, transparency, and flexible configuration for key transactions.

EDI integration in action

In this demo, you’ll see how to automate the full vendor-side EDI lifecycle with Celigo’s B2B Manager, including how to configure, run, and monitor EDI transactions directly within your ERP for greater control and visibility.

Why manual procurement workflows fail

Procurement teams face constant friction from outdated, manual processes. Emailing purchase orders and relying on vendors to rekey the data introduces delays and errors. Responses, shipments, and invoices are often tracked in disconnected spreadsheets, making it difficult to stay organized or scale efficiently.

Without real-time visibility into order status and vendor performance, teams are left in the dark, wasting valuable time reconciling records across multiple systems. As vendor networks grow, these issues scale, creating more errors, delays, and overhead.

End-to-end EDI integration and procurement automation

Automating vendor-side EDI processes helps streamline procurement workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve accuracy across transactions.

From onboarding suppliers to processing invoices, each step can be managed within your ERP for greater visibility and control.

• Onboard vendors quickly with reusable EDI profiles that define formats, IDs, and connections

• Send purchase orders (EDI 850) instantly and in vendor-compliant formats

• Receive acknowledgments (EDI 855) and auto-update ERP order statuses

• Track shipments (EDI 856) with automated inventory updates and fulfillment sync

• Process invoices (EDI 810) into vendor bills for faster reconciliation and payment

• Monitor and manage all transactions from a centralized, real-time dashboard

Benefits of EDI integration

There are many benefits of EDI integration, including:

• Faster vendor onboarding
• Fewer manual errors
• End-to-end visibility into procurement and logistics
• Reduced reliance on costly EDI service providers
• More accurate, scalable supplier communication

Scale procurement without the overhead

Manage more vendors, process higher order volumes, and handle complex invoicing—without adding headcount.

By automating every EDI touchpoint, you accelerate procurement cycles, eliminate manual bottlenecks, and build a supply chain operation that scales with your business.
