Information systems used in carrefour

·       Disadvantage of EDI system:

   On the other hand , we believe that EDI is not perfect system that because :

Ø  It is Difficult to agree on the standards that are used: even though there are widely-accepted and used, it is very difficult to force trading partners to accept these standards. This is because cooperation between trading partners is needed in order to establish common rules so they can avoid differ in interpretation.
Ø  It is very costly for smaller companies: because those small companies are facing resources problems in getting start with the initial implementation of EDI system. It is beyond the resources these companies to invest tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in setting and implementation costs, as well as weeks of personnel training, to get an EDI system running .
Ø  It is Trading Partners Involvement because the: Highly dependence on the participation of trading partners. It is extremely hard to get a high level of supplier compliance so EDI will be a meaningless if your trading partner doesn’t  get involve using EDI system effectively.
