In practice

Starshipit EDI overview

Starshipit EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Starshipit and businesses working in international freight forwarding and transport operations. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on keeping customer orders and carrier billing records aligned.

A practical Starshipit integration should route order and billing data to the teams responsible for execution. 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 Starshipit order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
