across all data exchanges that exist among supply chain partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EDI vendor selection process can be complex, and is complicated further by the fact that there are over 250 vendors operating in North America alone. Unlike other supplier enablement programs, Flex\u2019s EDI program does not mandate a one-size fits all approach. Instead, it but supports suppliers\u2019 decision processes by showcasing multi-tier, multi-platform, and multi-vendor solutions, enabling suppliers to choose the right solution for their organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrated and automated business transactions are a top priority for Flex, but why stop there? Our supply chain is complex and our mission to make our OEM customers more competitive. In order to accomplish this, we have to keep our operations up to date with the latest technology and supply chain innovations, and we hope that our suppliers think and operate the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Flex counts with over 1,500 key suppliers that are fully automated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EDI is used to exchange business data or electronic documents, in a structured manner, between trading partners.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"spacer block\" style=\"height: 24px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"id-69d8f3fc3947d\" class=\"box block content-width dark-content de \" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: none;\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t#id-69d8f3fc3947d > .container > .content {\n\t\t\tbackground-color: #eaeef4ff;\n\t\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\t\tpadding-top: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-right: 60px;\n\t\t\tpadding-bottom: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-left: 60px;\n\t\t\tmargin-left: 0px;\n\t\t\tmargin-right: 0px;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 1272px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69d8f3fc3947d.box.block.full-width > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 960px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69d8f3fc3947d > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-top: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 30px;\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-bottom: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 30px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-edi-standards\">EDI standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flex supports the United Nations rules for Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN\/EDIFACT) the international EDI standards developed under the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"link-arrow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unece.org\/cefact\/edifact\/welcome.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Visit the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-ansi-x12\">ANSI X12<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ANSI X12 is a US national standard developed by the Accredited Standards Committee of the American National Standards Institute.
