Resistance to EDI – And How RDS Can Help Overcome Those Barriers

Barriers to EDI

Companies may resist Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for a number of reasons—perceived cost, the belief that systems are too complex, a lack of internal resources, or previous experiences with painful partner onboarding. RDS Cloud was designed to remove each of those hurdles.

Flexible onboarding

We tailor the rollout approach to match your team’s capacity. Whether you want a fully managed service or simply need expert mapping support while retaining control, we fit around your processes.

Lower upfront investment

With most major reseller and retailer formats already mapped, onboarding new trading partners typically takes less than two hours—significantly reducing the cost compared with traditional EDI projects.

Confidence through validation

Our validation layer checks totals, delivery addresses and reference data before documents enter your systems, giving operations teams confidence that automation will not create downstream issues.
