What to know about working with Roundhouse. We handle the EDI work for suppliers, from trading partner setup and testing to everyday document processing.

EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. It is the exchange of business documents, such as purchase orders, shipping notices and invoices, between companies in a standardized electronic format. Retailers use EDI to communicate with their suppliers. Roundhouse handles that document processing for you, so your team can work with the order information without managing the EDI files themselves.
