Home / Solutions / ECN EDI Messaging

The ECN Group is Australasia’s leading outsourced B2B messaging solution provider, handling millions of business-critical messages annually.

We provide our clients and their trading partners with a cost effective means of doing business electronically by automating the exchange of transactional information between all types of systems.

How it works

Your trading partner sends us a file in a proprietary format that does not fit directly with your internal systems. We take the file and translate it into our native format. We then translate it to any number of different formats and dispatch them to you, ensuring that they are received and processed successfully. Here's an example of how it works in one part of the retail industry - the hardware sector.
