Connecting to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Introduction

When onboarding an EDI Customer to Truckin Digital, there is no need to hire any 3^rdparty for integration.

‍
Truckin Digital has engaged and partnered with OMNIZON Networks to accomplish this quickly.

You can simply connect this service from the Connected Services section, which includes installations and configurations, map development, data flow setup and connectivity ready to go.

Each time you setup an EDI Connection with a Customer (Trade Partner) there is a two-way communication between Truckin Digital and your Customer.
