EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) at Abbott Nutrition lets us work with our customers, vendors, and other trading partners to conduct a computer-to-computer exchange of business documents, using a standardized format. It’s a smart way to work together to help save money and time.

Here’s how EDI can help:

Replace Paper Transactions

Instead of preparing paper documents to send through the mail or by fax, our traditional EDI users exchange data directly between their computer systems and ours. With EDI, you can replace paper transactions with electronic transmissions to help save time, money and minimize the potential for error.

Process a Variety of Data

We currently process EDI orders for customers and suppliers; status and invoicing for transportation partners and additional documents rounding out the exchange of critical business information.

Other Important EDI features:

• Allows for multiple-user accessibility
• Handles large volumes of data and a variety of transactions
• Uses value-added networks (VANs) or AS2 to provide access
