Stedi overs 4 pillar features. Buckets, Triggers, Guides, Maps
The buckets and triggers is what hooked me. The guides and maps is what has been saving me. You see, EDI is a confusing btch. And trying to map out my json to those EDI files is a nightmare. Well, would be a nightmare without Stedi. Their UI makes it simple and easy to do. I'm able to now enjoy life again. Smile, laugh, love. All because of what Stedi is doing to shake up the EDI world.
In Stedi We Trust.

So, you know, Healthcare billing information. It's tedious, but the worst part is the mapping from your own data source to the format. And you don't help with that part.
Unless you can host this locally this seems like a deal breaker in many industries (healthcare, insurance and perhaps others)
Not sure which sweet spot they want to hit with this
