Legacy EDI systems are consuming budgets at an alarming rate, yet most organizations haven't measured the true cost of maintaining their decades-old infrastructure. The U.S. government alone spends roughly 80% of IT budgets maintaining legacy systems, while a mid-market company might spend $5,000 per year on
Here's the brutal reality facing supply chain leaders in 2026: Precision omnichannel operations will separate leading suppliers from those struggling to maintain partnerships. Many suppliers still process PDF orders manually while managing EDI connections and API integrations with the same retailer across different channels. This fragmented approach doesn&
Major carriers across North America and Europe now deliver rate quotes within milliseconds through API connections, while traditional EDI requests still take hours or days to process. This shift from Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) integrations to Application Programming Interface (API) integrations is providing improved access to real-time carrier rates, shipment
Your multi-system EDI integration is falling apart. The average company that performs EDI has anywhere from 100-200 partners, and 400-500 maps—all of which will be impacted by the switch. Every time you upgrade your TMS, implement a new WMS, or transition ERP systems, your carefully built EDI connections break.
A German automotive parts manufacturer discovered their €800,000 TMS implementation mistake the hard way. Six months into deployment, they found their European carriers couldn't integrate without costly custom development work — turning their "smart procurement decision" into a complete platform re-implementation. Sound familiar? You're
The transportation industry is experiencing AI transforms EDI from reactive to predictive: Machine learning automates data mapping, handles exceptions intelligently, and enables autonomous supply chain decisions through predictive analytics, fundamentally changing how companies approach Transportation Management System vendor selection. EDI mapping has long been a bottleneck in EDI integration projects.
Most logistics professionals understand the "hybrid tax" crushing their integration budgets without realizing how deeply it's sabotaging their TMS vendor selection process. When a TMS system is swapped out or reconfigured without an EDI continuity plan, the result is often delays, chargebacks, or failed deliveries, which
Poland's mandatory B2B e-invoicing via KSeF starts February 1, 2026 for large firms (annual revenues exceeding PLN 200 million), with smaller firms following April 1, 2026. Belgium implements mandatory PEPPOL-based B2B e-invoicing from January 1, 2026. France begins its phased rollout September 1, 2026 for large and mid-sized
When an enterprise grows and implements a new TMS, the switch impacts EDI with trading partners - with the average company having 100-200 partners and 400-500 maps. Yet 66% of technology projects end in partial or total failure, and the transportation management system vendor selection process rarely addresses the integration
You're fighting a losing battle against agentic AI governance failures that affect 70-85% of implementations, creating what MIT researchers now identify as a 95% failure rate for enterprise AI projects. While senior management chases headlines about autonomous AI revolutionizing supply chains, two thirds of respondents haven't
Something remarkable is happening in EDI-powered supply chains. EDI mapping has long been a bottleneck in EDI integration projects. With AI-assisted mapping, companies can auto-generate integration logic and business process flows by analyzing historical data and deployed maps. Transport companies that previously spent six to eight weeks onboarding a single
Supply chain leaders face a 63% problem rate where EDI trading partner onboarding automation takes too long due to customized requirements, with 47% of IT managers saying slow EDI supplier onboarding is keeping their businesses from capturing new revenue opportunities. Yet while most companies accept 8-10 week EDI onboarding times,
