This video from IQMS introduces their e-commerce and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solutions, explaining how these systems replace paper-based transactions with electronic communication. The presentation, led by expert Raymond, highlights how EDI utilizes a Value Added Network (VAN), similar to a digital mailbox, to exchange information like invoices and purchase orders with trading partners.
While direct connections exist with large companies, the VAN is the common method for sending and receiving transaction files, which are then processed by IQMS modules using communication software like Cleo to convert them into and from database entries like sales orders and shipments.
