The division dedicated to electronic document interchanges (EDI), Cegedim EDI has computerized all supply chain documents (order forms, order tracking, invoices, etc.).

This activity began in 1991 through an alliance with GIE Edipharm and the creation of an EDI system for wholesale distributors and pharmaceutical companies, and then quickly expanded:

• to medical analysis laboratories and the animal health sector,
• to the industry, mass distribution and public services sectors.

Cegedim EDI is meeting the drug traceability requirements (lot number and expiration date) by deploying shipping advice messages for the different participants in the pharmaceutical products distribution chain (Edipharm system).

The first French company to have obtained, in 1992, General Tax Division approval for tax-compliant computerized invoices, over the years Cegedim EDI has established itself as the French leader in this market.

With Global Invoice Services (GIS), Cegedim EDI offers the most complete computerization platform in ASP mode on the market.
GIS allows partners equipped with heterogeneous systems to connect and exchange messages and includes a complete range of value-added services:

• tax-compliant computerization,
• archiving ensuring the probative value of documents,
• Web interface control,
• electronic signature, an approved product certified as EAL3+ by the Central Information System Security Division (DCSSI),
• automatic document reading, and
• re-materialization of electronic documents.

In 2007, Cegedim EDI processed close to 170 million electronic invoices for its partners, representing a financial volume of close to 50 billion euros.
