Electronic Data Interchange - or EDI - is the B2B solution for linking suppliers to retailers. EDI linking leads to greater information sharing between the B2B partners, and reduces overheads for both because of just-in-time deliveries and other advantages. Bell Sports has signed up with bTrade, the B2B provider that is used by every university and college in America and every authorized Honda dealer in the US. Oh, and Wal*Mart...
