# Can Alvys replace our EDI provider?

Alvys includes native EDI inside the TMS, with the intent to eliminate the need for a separate EDI vendor and the operational gaps that come with it. Instead of EDI data living in a parallel system, tenders, updates, and documents flow directly into the same workflows dispatchers and billing teams already use. 

For buyers, the practical impact is fewer reconciliation issues, faster tender acceptance, and less operational risk caused by data mismatches between systems.
