3M strives to meet and exceed the expectations of our trading partners by providing world-class products and services. Electronic Commerce plays a key role in helping us achieve this goal.
Electronic Commerce is the communication of information electronically between business partners (customers, suppliers, carriers, and financial institutions). One form of electronic commerce is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
When EDI is used as a tool to enable process change and help achieve business goals, significant benefits can be realized. EDI enhances all parts of the business process, and the impact can be far reaching.
Setting up EDI requires both trading partners to gain a better understanding of each other's business processes. EDI expands channels of communication and leads to better working relationships between the partners.
New EDI customers are required to adhere to 3M standard maps. 3M supports ANSI X12 version 4010 and EDIFACT version 96A.
