EDI & Integration Questions

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of business documents in a standardized format between trading partners. EDI eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, speeds up transaction processing, and improves trading partner relationships. It's often required for working with large retailers, manufacturers, and supply chain partners.

We support all major EDI standards including X12 (ANSI ASC X12), EDIFACT, XML, JSON, and custom formats. Common transaction sets include 850 (Purchase Orders), 810 (Invoices), 855 (Purchase Order Acknowledgments), 856 (Advance Ship Notices), and many others. We can also handle proprietary formats specific to your trading partners.

Our EDI integration approach includes: analyzing your current systems and requirements, mapping business processes to EDI standards, developing secure transmission protocols (AS2, SFTP, VAN), creating data transformation and validation rules, implementing error handling and monitoring, and providing ongoing support and maintenance.

Yes, we offer comprehensive EDI managed services including cloud-based EDI hosting, 24/7 monitoring, transaction processing, error resolution, partner onboarding, compliance management, and ongoing support.
