More people will be familiar with EDI as this has been around for much longer than APIs and is therefore more established. Both approaches offer secure methods of transferring data.

EDI sends data, often in batches at set times. It also needs to be set and configured by the originating party.  

API’s provide a direct connection between the customer and the terminals systems. Our APIs use a ‘pull protocol’, which means that when your server requests an update on a particular container, it receives the latest status almost instantly. Developers can connect to API’s themselves, without the need to rely on having connections specifically set-up and amended by the originator.
