In practice

Novant EDI overview

Novant EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Novant and businesses working in retail, wholesale or marketplace supply. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on keeping order and invoice records aligned across operational teams.

A practical Novant integration should connect orders and invoices with the systems responsible for processing them. XEDI maps the agreed Agreed EDI format messages into ERP, warehouse, accounting or API workflows, while validation and alerts help teams deal with exceptions before they affect delivery or payment.

Every document validated before it moves

XEDI checks each Novant order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
