Faster orders. Fewer errors. Candid is digital ordering for the rest of your vendors.
We don’t want to speak ill of EDI. After all, Candid can even work as a traditional EDI provider if necessary. But let’s also be honest: EDI is antiquated, limited, expensive, and tedious to implement. You’ve probably lost opportunities because vendors can’t or won’t incur the pain and cost of an EDI integration in order to work with you.
The legacy of EDI doesn’t need to be a blocker. Your ERP is modern enough to work with modern best practices, and that’s what Candid allows you to do. With Candid Vendor Connect, there’s only one integration, which we customize to your specific needs.
Your partners can onboard in hours, giving access to live inventory, orders, invoicing, pricing, products, real-time shipping information and more.
That doesn’t mean you need to change what’s working today. Your existing EDI works perfectly in parallel with Candid Vendor Portal. It’s the best of both worlds. EDI for legacy vendors, and Candid for modern, tech-enabled, and smaller partners.
You found an up-and-coming brand, and now is the time to place an order? With Candid you don’t need to sacrifice efficiency, visibility, accuracy, and communication that you lose by ordering over phone, email, or PDFs.
Candid can integrate directly with their DTC e-commerce platform and shipping software so that they can afford to work with you and get those products into the hands of your customers right away.
