EDI for Automotive Parts
AIAG-compliant EDI for OEM suppliers and aftermarket parts distributors
Automotive EDI is governed by AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) standards, which add industry-specific transaction sets on top of standard ANSI X12. OEM suppliers to Ford, GM, and Stellantis face JIT (just-in-time) delivery requirements where a missed shipment can shut down an assembly line. Aftermarket distributors selling to AutoZone, O'Reilly, and NAPA deal with high SKU counts and daily replenishment cycles.
