Heuristic EDI (HEDI) created by Synchronous ERP

Synchronous ERP created its own EDI engine called Heuristic EDI (HEDI). Heuristic is based on artificial intelligence principles to eliminate complex mapping logic and was designed from the ground up to seamlessly integrate with our ERP software. The extraordinary reduction in complexity allows any organization to participate in a competitive marketplace, no matter its size.

Traditionally, organizations sent paper or fax documents to generate purchase orders, customer orders and invoices. EDI eliminates the endless amounts of paperwork created by such menial tasks.

Going PaperlessEDI Will Reduce Costs

What is EDI?Today, data is exchanged between trading partners, electronically.

For example, data created from purchase orders or invoices are transferred through electronic means from one computer system to another.

Synchronous ERP generates these communications directly within the ERP suite without third party costs.

Trading partners create numerous requests based on EDI standards.

Traditional EDI companies hard code these requests with custom programs and mappings.

But coding gets expensive and may not work!

When EDI communications fail, there is no message, no purchase order, no invoice, no transaction, no sale, and no cash.
