Electronic Data Interchange

With a group of specialists dedicated to EDI functionality, Ingram works with automation vendors to ensure all automation systems communicate effectively with ours resulting in efficient order placement. Ingram makes library automation system vendors aware of new developments and features in EDI as well as works with new vendors as they develop EDI functionality.

Ingram supports both basic and enriched ordering via EDI. Enriched capabilities depend upon the automation system vendor and typically includes sending line item specific information such as location, fund, and collection type along with the quantity. This information is used in the processing of materials and creation of holdings in MARC records purchased by the library.

When a library wants to implement EDI, Ingram specialists provide you with the information needed to configure your local system, assist with ipage® record setup and downloading, and run a test order through our system for you to verify the results.
