FAQs

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the process of exchanging data between systems electronically, using networks. The challenge with EDI is that information needs to be translated in the centre of this process by an EDI system and should have monitoring in place to ensure bad data is caught and errored before being pushed through into another system. 

There are several factors that the Crossfire team need to consider when calculating the cost of setting up your EDI integration. We charge a one-off setup cost and a fixed monthly cost per connection, no matter the number of messages you send!

As each customer is different, we run a requirements analysis to understand your business requirements and give you a clear pricing breakdown.

Crossfire often helps businesses wanting to move away from other providers, due to cost, customer service, and the quality of the EDI solution.

Crossfire has strict processes around handling a smooth migration from existing integrations managed by incumbent providers, over to Crossfire, in order to have minimal impact on your business.
