An efficient trucking business needs the right tools, and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is one of the most crucial. EDI simplifies the exchange of documents like load tenders, invoices, and bills of lading, eliminating manual paperwork and saving time. While many companies pay hefty fees for EDI transactions, TracxTMS solves this problem – offering a built-in solution that can save your business thousands of dollars every year.
What Is EDI and Why Does It Matter?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a communications protocol that lets companies send and receive documents electronically, bypassing the traditional paper-based process. Instead of faxing or mailing invoices and order confirmations, EDI systems like TracxTMS enable instant, secure data transfers between businesses. This provides near real-time communication, reducing delays, and ensuring that your trucking business runs smoothly.
For companies still relying on paper-based logistics, EDI can revolutionize your operations. It enables faster document transfers, reduces errors, and increases transparency with your customers. If you haven’t yet made the switch, now is the time to explore how much time and money your business could save by automating these processes with TracxTMS.
The Hidden Costs of EDI Transactions
While EDI is incredibly beneficial, the associated costs can be overwhelming. Typically, an EDI transaction costs around $3.00. This might not sound like much, but consider that each customer, load, and invoice requires multiple transactions throughout the year. For many trucking businesses, these fees can quickly add up, costing anywhere from $15,000 or more annually, depending on the number of transactions.
Many TMS platforms rely on third-party providers for EDI, meaning you not only pay for the transaction fees but also a subscription to access the service. With thousands of transactions required each year, the financial burden can become significant.
