What is SaaS EDI?
SaaS EDI is EDI functionality delivered as a cloud application that users access through a browser or simple integrations. The provider hosts and maintains the software, connects it to trading partners and applies updates, so the customer focuses on using the application rather than configuring infrastructure.
