In the first episode of The Integration Hub, host Grace Sharkey sits down with Erik Kiser, Founder & CEO of Orderful, to explore how EDI integrations are evolving and what the future of supply chain connectivity looks like.

They unpack the pain points of traditional EDI, why user experience matters, and how Orderful is building a pre-connected network to make integrations faster, easier, and more reliable. Erik also shares leadership lessons, the role of AI in shaping ERP and supply chain integrations, and how empowering teams drives innovation and business growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Orderful simplifies and accelerates EDI integrations.
• Bad integrations = high costs and slower growth.
• User experience is critical for making EDI accessible.
• The future is pre-connected supply chains.
• AI will enhance—but not immediately replace—EDI.
• Strong company culture comes from transparency and ownership.
