What is MDV EDI?

MDV EDI is a grocery retail electronic data interchange framework that automates the exchange of purchase orders, product invoices, remittance, and acknowledgments between suppliers and the MDV distribution network. It enforces item-level accuracy, store-ready shipment timing, and AS2 or VAN connectivity to maintain compliant trading relationships across wholesale and retail grocery operations.
