e-commerce
E-commerce (electronic commerce) is the activity of electronically buying or selling of products on online services or over the Internet. Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems.
QAD supports e-commerce through EDI, QAD CSS (Customer Self Service) storefront or integration to third party solutions using API’s and QXtend.
EDI e-commerce
Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the concept of businesses electronically communicating information that was traditionally communicated on paper, such as purchase orders and invoices. Technical standards for EDI exist to facilitate parties transacting such instruments without having to make special arrangements.
EDI has been around for a long time, and while it is true there are standards, they are loosely followed. Lately, enterprises have not only been expanding EDI to use more types of transactions but also are also expanding the actual amount and level of detail flowing through these transactions. Are you able to keep up with the velocity of your customer and internal enterprise EDI needs?
