As you launch in retail most brands will start by taking orders manually via email, phone call, or even text. But once you start working with larger retailers, they’ll usually require you to process orders via EDI.

In this episode I break down:

• What is EDI?
• When do you need it?
• How does it implement for a brand?
• How to choose an EDI provider?
• How long does it take to set up?
• How much should I expect to pay?

CRSTL is a new modern EDI provider priced for emerging brands that works with any retailer that uses EDI. I recommend them because of their easy to use platform, great customer service, and simple pricing. I negotiated with them for you to Save 25% off your entire first year, let me know if you'd like an introduction.
