About EDI Communicating With YRC by EDI: Getting Started
If you use EDI to process your business transactions, you already know how automation can reduce your administrative costs and speed the order-filling process. EDI was first developed in the 1960s with the objective of speeding the movement of shipping and transportation documents. Its application has expanded from enabling the electronic exchange of purchase orders, acknowledgments and invoices to include global procurement and sourcing. YRC has been a leader in implementing EDI applications in the transportation industry since the early 1970s. We were part of the original Transportation Data Coordinating Committee, a predecessor to the Data Interchange Standards Association, which develops the EDI standards we use today.
