What is EDI plus AI?
EDI plus AI extends legacy EDI to email, PDF, and portal orders, raising coverage above 95 percent
EDI plus AI extends legacy EDI by routing every non-EDI input through AI agents that produce equivalent structured transactions. Email orders, PDF attachments, portal submissions, and Excel sheets are converted into ERP-ready records. EDI plus AI raises B2B order coverage from 30 to 50 percent on EDI alone to over 95 percent end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions
How does EDI plus AI work in practice?
EDI plus AI keeps existing EDI flows untouched. For every non-EDI input (email, PDF, portal), AI agents extract order intent, validate against ERP master data, and produce a structured order equivalent to an EDI message. The ERP receives one consistent record type.
Does EDI plus AI replace my EDI provider?
No. EDI plus AI sits alongside your current EDI infrastructure. Your VAN, AS2, and X12/EDIFACT mappings continue. AI agents extend coverage to inputs that EDI cannot process.
What coverage gain should I expect from EDI plus AI?
Manufacturers running EDI plus AI typically move from 30-50 percent EDI coverage to over 95 percent end-to-end order coverage within 6 to 12 months, with 80 percent of transactions touchless.
