COVID-19 IMPACT:

Growing Digital Shift Amid COVID-19 Pandemic to Boost Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the market during 2020-2021. Several business functions across verticals have been adversely affected, including the electronic data interchange process. Logistics, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare industries witnessed drastic changes in their ways of operations and customer management amid the pandemic. However, the significant changes and growing demand for smoother supply chain processes are anticipated to surge the demand for Electronic Data Interchange software.

Healthcare, retail, and other industrial sectors have started adopting cloud-based data exchange software to offer lifetime access to the data. Globally, government bodies along with organizations are focused on enrolling recovery actions for the post-COVID-19 impact. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), in April 2020, contactless digital payment means, such as Quick Response (QR) codes, facial recognition, and Near-Field Communications (NFC), helped various countries to cope with the pandemic crisis, thus propelling the use of paperless transactions. Various companies are opting for innovative contact-less solutions to avoid the spread of coronavirus.

For instance, in January 2022, Microsoft Corporation in partnership with FedEx Corp. launched a logistics-as-a-service cross-platform. This platform integrates with different order management applications such as online e-commerce marketplaces, electronic data interchange, enterprise resource planning, and other ordering channels. Thus, the demand for Electronic Data Interchange software is predicted to grow significantly to offer an efficient customer experience in the coming years.

Incorporation of Advanced Technologies to Boost Market Expansion

The incorporation of advanced technologies in Electronic Data Interchange software systems has triggered a new path for the data interchange process, offering several benefits to businesses. Data interchange transactions are crucial to the B2B and B2C processes, from Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to large organizations as they offer better integration for the SMEs with larger firms. The future of the retail supply chain entirely depends on technological innovations such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The key benefits delivered by advanced solutions through B2B integration and automation are as follows:

• Saves time and money by automating the traditional manual electronic data process


• Improves efficiency and productivity with greater accuracy


• Reduces errors by automating the data formatting process


• Improves traceability and reporting to support data collection, visibility, and analysis


• Supports positive customer experiences with a reliable product and service delivery

Thus, the digital technology implementation enabled by AI and Internet of Things (IoT) is augmenting the data exchange process and is likely to boost the Electronic Data Interchange software market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Adoption of Software by Small & Medium Businesses to Drive the EDI Software Market Growth

The Electronic Data Interchange software aids small and medium organizations to automate several transactions with other companies that occur frequently, including exchanging invoices, orders, and advanced shipping notices. The inventory software solution also aids to manage various solutions, creating fully integrated, end-to-end, and automated Electronic Data Interchange software solutions. This significantly increases the productivity, efficiency, and profitability of smaller and mid-sized businesses by enabling fully-automated transaction processing, augmenting the market worldwide.

The software enables small organizations to enhance customer satisfaction and brand loyalty by offering online recommendations. Also, it helps small organizations to seamlessly transact with large organizations across the globe by solving technical and business connection requirements productively and efficiently. The software aided in fastening transactions, delivery, payment, and invoicing, as well as improving the visibility of goods in the supply chain.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Threat of Application Programming Interface (API) as a Substitute to Inhibit Market Growth

Electronic data interchange solutions offer a basic exchange of business documents using multiple standard electronic formats via computers between business partners. It is feasible to carry on similar transactions using API, such as sending order stock, and invoices, and carrying out other similar processes, thus creating a substitute for the traditional data interchange systems. APIs are often faster, flexible, and cost-effective than electronic data, and are typically synchronous and boast smaller payloads. An API is integrated with a REST (representational state transfer), a systematic architectural style, that is easy to modify for developers as per the necessity. It also offers a safe and trusted data exchange service, wherein it is also useful to track the data or order stock that has been lost and is emerging as a potential substitute threat for the technology.
