What is AEI EDI?

AEI EDI is the standardized electronic data interchange compliance framework mandated for manufacturing suppliers to exchange critical business documents securely. It enforces AS2 or VAN connectivity and synchronized data flows that align order-to-cash cycles, ensuring audit-ready digital transactions and seamless integration with AEI’s enterprise resource planning environment.
