EDI-2-FLOW is a... 100% Digitalization Solution
EDI-2-FLOW for D365 is a complete, 100% digitalization solution. Remember: a digital supply chain is not implementing one or more digital technologies to support a specific process. This is only half of the equation.
A digital supply chain is, however, a supply chain with no gaps. All operational and logistical processes are accounted for with an appropriate solution (e.g., an EDI or API solution), and everything is interconnected.
Technology aside, there’s also a human side to a digital supply chain that requires a commitment to change and effective management of that change.
In a sense, this means a digital supply chain is an end-to-end supply chain in which digital enablers (systems, applications, services, and so on) meet human initiative for full transparency at every level.
And the benefits of a digital supply chain? Ensured data accuracy, reduced time and money, fewer errors, happier trading partners, process consistency, and increased productivity. Of course, there are more as well.

EDI-2-FLOW is a... Solution Made Up of Best EDI Practices
EDI must be integrated into your ERP
EDI transactions should be validated against live ERP (master) data. This includes data like products, pricing, and inventory. ERP business processes should be leveraged in sales, purchasing, finance, warehouse, and operations. This leads to seamless reporting, history tracking, and error correction.

EDI must be fully integrated with your IT landscape.
ERP integration isn’t the only important step. This means you should ensure that your EDI solution is also integrated in your CRM, your e-commerce platform, and more. Remember, it should be 100% digital, with no gaps. Luckily, service providers like TIE Kinetix are able to integrate completely.
