The Web EDI involves the exchange of electronic documents via an internet-enabled Web EDI platform. It helps the big companies to integrate their small business partners in the EDI.
The business messages are made accessible for the small users usually as the internet-based HTML forms. The forms are filled-in by the users and the message is then transmitted (in XML format) to the translation application.
The software converts it into the relevant EDI standard, e.g. GS1 EANCOM® or GS1 XML and transfers to the big user company. The traditional EDI message sent by the large user company is transformed into the HTML form and sent to the Web EDI user.
This way, the user capable of investing in the full EDI infrastructure, can exchange business data with its small customers and suppliers.
