This system is becoming more and more widespread, both in France and internationally. A study by GS1 of the UK retail industry found that <strong>87%<\/strong> of businesses used EDI-based purchase orders and <strong>84%<\/strong> used EDI-based invoices, which allowed them to <strong>saved 775 million euros<\/strong> (650 million pounds sterling) each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated previously, the implementation of EDI in the retail sector aims to facilitate exchanges with its suppliers. Within the Supply Chain, availability, speed and efficiency are priorities, and retailers have understood the interest of EDI to meet their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>objectives of EDI<\/strong> within the retail sector are numerous. Indeed, the EDI allows to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve the <strong>efficiency of the supply chain<\/strong> and achieve better customer satisfaction through the exchange of up-to-date and complete information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce the costs<\/strong> of information management in goods processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed up<\/strong> intra and inter-company communication <strong>flows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce<\/strong> human <strong>errors<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The common goal between players in the Retail &amp; Distribution sector and suppliers is to provide end customers with: the right product, in the right place, at the right time and at the right price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You have questions about Retail &amp; Distribution EDI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You are suppliers of the Retail &amp; Distribution sector and:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You need to <strong>automate<\/strong> your commercial, logistics and billing <strong>flows<\/strong> with your distributors in order to:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Receive and confirm orders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send out despatch advices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate with transport and logistics providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Circulate goods movements and stocks status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issue tax-compliant e-invoices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want to dematerialize all your incoming and outgoing <strong>invoice flows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to dematerialize your <strong>product data sheets<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Different messages can be set up such as: ORDERS, ORDRSP, DESADV, INVRPT, PRODAT, INVOIC\u2026 in sometimes different standards (EDIFACT D96a, EDIFACT D93a, EDIFACT D10a\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is all of this still a bit of a blur to you?
