For high-volume trading partners, EDI is the right answer and we do not want to replace it.
The problem is the long tail. The machine shop with eleven employees is not building an 856. They are sending an email, and that email is where your visibility ends.
APIXX Supplier Connect gives that supplier a web page that produces the same information your EDI partners send. Both paths land in the same structure in Sage Intacct.
Honest framing
- Keep EDI for the partners already on it.
- Use APIXX Supplier Connect for everyone else.
- Stop maintaining two mental models of your supply chain.
Where this stands
Formal EDI coexistence for 855, 856, and 810 flows is part of the Scale plan roadmap. Today, EDI suppliers simply keep their existing flows; the portal covers everyone else.
