  • Stay Ahead of Your Ordering Flow

    Electronic Data Interchange May Be Right for You

    Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a program to help process orders quickly and more accurately, saving you time and money. Your order is electronically processed at any time of the day or night, with no human intervention. This means improved accuracy and speed of transactions, fewer errors, and substantial savings.

    How It Works

    By enrolling into EDI, transactions which are normally sent via PDF or through snail mail will be replaced by electronically sent documents. Common transactions replaced by EDI include, but are not limited to:

    • 850 – Purchase Order
    • 855 – Purchase Order Acknowledgement
    • 856 – Advance Ship Notice
    • 810 – Invoice
     

    Efficiency, Speed, and Savings

    With EDI, NIBCO starts processing your orders within minutes of receiving them. Days can be cut from your delivery cycle.
