Finance

In this new era of digitalization, the growth of international trade has created opportunities for trade between buyers and suppliers across the globe, resulting in the globalization of the financial supply chain. It involves many different processes to exchange information such as differences in currencies, accounting regulations, and other financial transactions/documents. Using EDI in the financial process mitigates this risk by automating the data exchange process in a standardized format, enabling the seamless, accurate, and timely exchange of financial data between buyers, sellers, and their financial institutions.
