EDI Integration

EDI integration that makes every B2B transaction between your system and your trading partners automated.

EDI integration connects your enterprise resource planning system, warehouse, and logistics partners through standardized document exchange: 850 purchase orders, 856 advance ship notices, 810 invoices, without manual data entry. We build the custom electronic data interchange layer that handles your specific document types, trading partners, and business rules.

The Manual EDI Gap

What B2B transactions look like before a real EDI layer.

We spend three days a week manually re-keying purchase orders from our retailer portal into our enterprise resource planning system. When we miss an 850, we do not find out until a 997 rejection comes back, and by then the retailer has already charged us a compliance fine.
Operations Manager, consumer goods supplier
Without electronic data interchange integration, your team manually handles:
  • Re-keying 850 purchase orders from every retail partner
  • Building 856 ship notices by hand before every shipment
  • Generating and sending 810 invoices to each buyer manually
  • Chasing 997 acknowledgments to avoid compliance fines

What We Build

Three EDI integration solutions your trading network needs.

Electronic data interchange integration is not one-size-fits-all. The right architecture depends on your document types, your trading partners' requirements, and how your internal systems process B2B transactions.

Document mapping

X12, EDIFACT, and XML mapped to your ERP, field by field

We map every field from your partner's EDI format to your ERP's data structure. 850 PO fields land in the right ERP order fields. Custom segments, qualifiers, and partner-specific codes are handled. No data gets lost in translation.

Trading partner onboarding

New trading partners connected in 14 days, not 14 weeks

Your team approves the map. We handle everything else. We read the partner's EDI spec, build the document maps, test against their production data, and validate acknowledgment flows. One partner or a full batch rollout.

Spec reviewTest dataValidation
Application integration services →
Monitoring and acknowledgments

Every 997 tracked. Every error resolved before a chargeback arrives.

We monitor every functional acknowledgment on every transaction. When a rejection comes in, we classify the reason, route it to the right team, and flag compliance risks before your partner's system logs them. Result: zero surprise chargebacks.

Pricing Transparency

Scoped before work starts. Line-by-line. No commitment to receive a proposal.

Factor 1

Number of trading partners and document types

Onboarding one retail partner with three document types scopes differently from a full 12-partner network with custom segment requirements. We price per partner connection and per document type map.

Factor 2

EDI standard and version complexity

X12 4010 to a retail partner differs from EDIFACT D96A to a European distributor with custom ORDERS segments. We assess your partners' spec documents before scoping: no surprises from version differences post-build.

Factor 3

Enterprise resource planning integration and business rules

Some electronic data interchange builds pass documents directly to enterprise resource planning queues. Others require document splitting, partner-specific pricing rules, ship-to location routing, or compliance validation before enterprise resource planning insertion. Each layer is scoped separately.

What you receive before committing to anything
  • EDI architecture map showing document flows for each partner
  • hours and cost per partner, per document type`
  • Timeline with a firm go-live date for each trading partner
  • Compliance risk assessment per partner spec

Call within 48 hours → scoped proposal in 3 days → no commitment required

Your team's time across a full electronic data interchange build is 2 to 3 hours per week: one trading partner mapping review, async document type confirmation, and a final quality assurance sign-off.

Common Questions

What buyers ask before starting an EDI project.

We build electronic data interchange integrations across ANSI X12 (all versions from 4010 to 5010), EDIFACT, and XML-based electronic data interchange formats. Document types we handle include 850 Purchase Orders, 856 Advance Ship Notices, 810 Invoices, 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgments, 997 Functional Acknowledgments, 214 Transportation Carrier Shipment Status, 943 Warehouse Shipping Order, 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt, and others based on your trading partners' requirements. If your partner's spec defines it, we can build it.

A standard trading partner onboarding for a well-documented electronic data interchange spec takes 10 to 14 days from signed scope to first live transaction. Complex partners with custom segment requirements, multiple communication protocols, or unusual validation rules may run 3 to 4 weeks. We scope each partner individually and commit to a specific go-live date, not an estimate range, before work begins.

We connect electronic data interchange to Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and custom enterprise resource planning platforms. The integration receives inbound documents, transforms them to your enterprise resource planning system's data structure, and sends them to the correct module: purchase orders to procurement, ship notices to fulfillment, invoices to accounts payable. We also build the reverse: your enterprise resource planning system generating and transmitting outbound electronic data interchange documents to trading partners.

Every electronic data interchange integration we build monitors 997 Functional Acknowledgments per transaction. When a rejection arrives, we classify the reason code, route it to the correct team, and alert your operations team before the issue becomes a compliance chargeback. Our post-launch service-level agreement is a 4-hour alert on any persistent rejection pattern. Automatic retry logic handles transient communication failures before they trigger manual intervention.

We price electronic data interchange integration on a fixed-scope, fixed-fee basis. Each trading partner connection is scoped and priced individually based on three factors: the partner's electronic data interchange standard and document types, the complexity of their spec requirements, and the enterprise resource planning integration and business rule layer needed. You receive a line-by-line proposal before committing. There are no per-transaction fees, no middleware subscription charges, and no discovery fees. You own the code and documentation on delivery.
