Abstract

The future of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in the supply chain is poised for transformative growth, driven by technological advancements and evolving market dynamics. As businesses increasingly recognize the importance of data-driven decision-making, EDI is a cornerstone for seamless communication between trading partners. Over the years, we’ve seen a significant shift towards cloud-based solutions, enabling real-time data exchange and enhancing flexibility. Adopting Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) alongside traditional EDI systems is reshaping integration strategies, allowing for greater interoperability and responsiveness to market demands. Additionally, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates unprecedented data collection, enabling organizations to dynamically monitor and optimize supply chain processes. Predictive analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming integral as companies harness these technologies to forecast trends and mitigate risks.
