Trading partners in retail, manufacturing, and logistics often require structured electronic documents rather than emailed PDFs. We implement EDI so your purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices are exchanged in standard formats your partners accept. The result is faster, error-free B2B transactions that meet partner mandates and remove the manual re-keying that slows your supply chain.
We work with the standards your partners require, including ANSI X12 used widely in North America and UN/EDIFACT used internationally. We implement the transaction sets that matter for trade: purchase orders such as the X12 850, invoices like the 810, advance ship notices, and functional acknowledgements. Each document follows the partner's exact specification for segments, qualifiers, and code lists, because EDI is strict and a partner will reject anything that deviates from the agreed structure rather than interpret it loosely.
EDI documents must reach partners securely and provably, so we set up the transport each partner expects. AS2 sends documents over HTTPS with encryption, digital signatures, and signed receipts that confirm delivery, which many large retailers mandate. Where partners prefer it, we use SFTP with key-based authentication, or connect through a VAN. We handle certificate exchange, connection testing, and the message disposition notifications that prove a document was received, so there is no dispute about whether an order or invoice actually arrived.
Raw EDI files are not how your ERP or order system stores data, so we build the translation layer between them. Inbound documents are parsed, validated against the standard, and mapped into the records your applications expect; outbound data is transformed back into compliant EDI. We handle each partner's variations in one place, validate documents before sending to avoid rejections, and generate acknowledgements automatically, so an incoming purchase order becomes an order in your system without anyone typing it in.
Every partner has its own specification, identifiers, and testing process, so onboarding is a project in itself. We gather each partner's EDI guidelines, configure their document maps and transport details, and run the certification testing they require before going live. As you add partners, we reuse a common core and isolate partner-specific rules, so the second and third partners are faster than the first. We document each relationship clearly, so a connection is maintainable rather than locked in one person's head.
We work with ANSI X12 and UN/EDIFACT, covering common transactions such as purchase orders (850), invoices (810), advance ship notices, and functional acknowledgements. We implement each document to the exact specification your trading partner provides, since EDI requires precise compliance.
It depends on your partners. Many now accept AS2 over the internet with encryption and signed receipts, and some prefer SFTP. A VAN is still required by certain partners. We support all three and match the transport to what each partner mandates.
We build a translation layer that maps EDI documents to and from your ERP or order system. Inbound documents become records automatically, and outbound data is converted into compliant EDI, validated before sending so partners accept it without rejections or manual correction.
