What is Gortons EDI?
Gortons EDI is a B2B electronic-data-interchange framework used by suppliers trading frozen seafood and food products with Gortons. It automates purchase order intake, order acknowledgment, shipment notification, and invoice exchange between food production systems and the Gortons retail network. The architecture enforces GS1/X12 compliance, accurate inventory allocation, and traceable communication over AS2 or VAN links.
