What is X12?
X12 schemas are the government standards for electronic data interchange transactions. Over the years, X12 has been the format used for electronic information exchange in the health care, insurance, government, transportation, and finance industries in the United States. X12 files serve as the universal language for the biggest businesses in the country.
Why does ShopVisible provide X12?
Before creating ShopVisible, founder Josh Lloyd and his development team had been implementing X12 transactions in the healthcare space for ten years. As a result, ShopVisible houses the most experienced team of EDI gurus in the ecommerce realm.
Why do you need X12?
Electronic data interchange makes transactions between the suppliers and retailers extremely efficient. With EDI, when a large supplier needs to have 10,000 products from a retailer on his shelf, everything is done automatically. The supplier creates the system to automatically detect when his inventory of the product is low, which triggers an automatic new order and a shipment. Both parties gain access to real time information regarding all buying, selling, trading, and tracking processes. No other system is as quick, convenient, and hands off as this.
ShopVisible integration with Overstock.com is X12 compliant, and we expect to X12 integrations with other channels in the near future. As more and more businesses start to use EDI, online merchants should prepare to stay ahead of the curve. X12 is already common practice for the biggest industries in the United States, and will soon include ecommerce as well.
