With a portfolio that comprises of solutions that integrate into business back office systems and
services that enable companies to outsource their B2B and B2C EDI transfers, EDT perfectly
complements the Weexa Group’s operational consulting, management, integration,
digitalization and support services.
Emergence of an important alliance in a buoyant market
For over 30 years technological advancements and the digitalization of B2B and B2C data flows has not
stopped evolving. Involving companies and organisations of all sizes, including governmental and public
sector bodies.
The Weexa Group currently employs more than 100 people on 3 continents and in 8 countries, covering
EMEA and APAC. An American presence is also planned before the end of 2021, which will allow the
Weexa group to meet the demands of its customers across the American continent but to offer
comprehensive and 24/7 support, or as we know it, “follow the sun” support.
By acquiring EDT, the Weexa group will have more than 150 employees, hosting infrastructures and a
24/365 support team dedicated to enhance the efficiency of EDI and e-invoice applications. With such
a robust and reliable capability, the group will be able to respond to requirements/calls for tenders and
consultations in the same way as the major players present on this market.

strategic partnership agreements with the two world leaders in the sector, IBM and OpenText. In
parallel with this extension of its offer, the Weexa Group continues its geographical development, thus
offering EDT the opportunity to support its customers worldwide.
A Shared vision of the market based on competence and proximity
Between the Weexa Group and EDT, a relationship of trust is paramount and has been forged since the
initial meeting, based on a similar vision of the market and its prospects, as well as the means necessary
to achieve common and ambitious objectives.
The exceptional loyalty of customers to both companies is based on the proximity, quality and reliability
of the services provided for these critical supply chain applications.
« It has often been said that EDI is outdated, when in fact there is still a lot to be done in this area. We see an increase in flows of 10-12% each year. The market is both sustainable and buoyant. This merger with the WEEXA group is a great opportunity for our company to accelerate and grow in its markets, (across Europe) in France and abroad. The complementarity of our offers now positions us as an important player in B2B, B2C and B2G flows, in all sectors of activity »,
says Jean-Jacques Hirsch, founder of EDT.
« By integrating EDT into our group, we are strengthening our expertise in EDI with new types of
services and new partners, in sectors that we did not address very much. This new subsidiary will
allow us to address all the problems of the market, in an ever more structured and relevant way. With
EDT, we cover the entire spectrum of the digitalization of BtoB streams » ,
says Jérôme Fleury, President of the WEEXA Group.
