Q-EDI is ABF's Computer-to-Computer Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Program.
ABF® uses a variety of servers that are capable of supporting all your batch and real-time EDI needs.
ABF can support either a direct connection or a connection through a third-party network.
ABF also uses Transparent Direct Links, which use XML to allow you to incorporate data from ABF's Internet server directly into your own Internet site or backend information systems.
