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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

EDI Will Reduce Costs

4. 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.

5. 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!

6. Why Empty Shelves Killed the Target Brand in Canada
When EDI communications fail, there is no message, no purchase order, no invoice, no
transaction, no sale, and no cash.

7. The Heuristic Model for EDI (HEDI)
We make EDI look easy! But there is some sophisticated
programming under the covers.
Synchronous ERP created an efficient and proven heuristic
model for EDI called HEDI.

8. Heuristic EDI employs both artificial intelligence and a heuristic self-learning
algorithm. The software will build the requisite data structures to
accommodate any EDI document or standard in seconds.
Generate EDI Documents in Seconds

9. HEDI incorporates all North
American EDI standards for all
existing documents types.
This includes all UCS, VICS and
X12 Standards.
Incorporates all North American EDI Standards

10. Eliminate Errors
HEDI (Heuristic EDI) reads raw
EDI, confirms that data is
compliant with standards, learns
its meaning and validates all
transactions against your
company’s business rules.
This code free paradigm
eliminates the need for endless
custom programming.

11. Data Transfer is Secure and Reliable
Synchronous EDI is a "World Class"
solution.
This agile solution integrates best of
breed communications components
