How does this compare to setting up my own operation?
Setting up your own operation does not compare at all with outsourcing. When you outsource, you are basically putting your products into the hands of a business that specializes and invests the time and money in a specific type of operation. Not to mention that that companies reputation is on the line each and every time they take on new business. So it is pride that keeps public warehouses afloat. On the contrary, private warehouses don’t need to impress anyone, no motive means less progress. Ninety percent of Jet Distribution’s business was acquired by word of mouth, not advertisement.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is defined as the inter-process (computer application to computer application) communication of business information in a standardized electronic form. Put simply, EDI is about doing business and carrying out transactions with your trading partners electronically. EDI covers most things that are done using paper based communication, for example placing orders with suppliers and carrying out financial transactions. This is why the term `paperless trading' is often used to describe EDI.
