Data interchange between large companies and their suppliers or customers has always been cumbersome. The reason for this was because smaller companies could not afford to implement large IT solutions for controlling the transfer of information between business partners (Electronic Data Interchange).
Finally, IT companies have arrived at a practicable solution, which was made possible by the development of the Internet infrastructure in Poland. Fifteen years had to pass since the Internet made its appearance in Poland before the full potential of the Web EDI systems could be realized. EDI systems operate through an Internet connection with the system center installed at one of the partner offices. Such a solution means benefits for all the partners. First of all, data can be entered into the system by each supplier or recipient. Internet-based electronic document interchange provides each of the partners with immediate access to the information stored in the system. The system reduces the workload by allowing each partner to provide current information about the order status, invoices and warehouse inventories.
