What is 3 Plus Logistics EDI?
3 Plus Logistics EDI is the structured electronic exchange of warehouse shipping orders, shipping advices, purchase orders, and invoices between 3 Plus Logistics and its trading partners within the Logistics & Transportation industry. It automates fulfillment workflows, synchronizes ERP data, and enforces partner-specific compliance rules across AS2 and VAN communication channels.

3 Plus Logistics
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Every stalled warehouse shipment is margin bleeding out of your supply chain — and 3 Plus Logistics' EDI program leaves no room for error. Operating as a specialized third-party logistics (3PL) provider with a strong footprint across freight and distribution, they enforce a demanding compliance regime: EDI 940 warehouse shipping orders flowing in, EDI 945 shipping advices flowing out, all exchanged over AS2 and VAN channels, with GS1-128 barcode labeling and branded DSV packing slips woven into every fulfillment cycle. One malformed segment or mislabeled carton means chargebacks, dock rejections, and finger-pointing across your supply chain. Cogential IT's fully-managed cloud EDI platform absorbs that complexity for you — pre-configured segment mapping, real-time validation before every transmission, and zero reliance on an in-house IT team — so each 940 becomes a flawless pick-and-pack instruction and every 945 lands clean, on time, every time.
-
940 → 945, Fully AutomatedWarehouse shipping orders (940) stream from your ERP or OMS directly into 3 Plus Logistics' fulfillment workflow, while shipping advices (945) flow back carrying pick confirmations, shipment detail, and inventory movement — mapped, translated, and delivered without a single manual keystroke.
-
AS2 & VAN — Both Channels, One PlatformWhether 3 Plus Logistics exchanges documents over secure AS2 with certificate management and MDN tracking, or routes through a value-added network, Cogential IT manages the connectivity, 997 acknowledgments, and automatic retries behind the scenes — no protocols for your team to babysit.
-
GS1-128 Labels, Generated to SpecEvery carton ships with compliant GS1-128 barcode labels — SSCC-18 serial shipping containers, correct application identifiers, and placement rules — produced automatically from live shipment data so nothing gets rejected at the receiving dock.
-
Zero-Chargeback GuaranteeOur proprietary Validation Engine screens every outbound document against 3 Plus Logistics' routing guide before transmission — and we stand behind it with a Zero-Chargeback Guarantee. Compliance stops being a cost center and becomes your competitive edge.
Where does 3 Plus Logistics compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Mismatched quantities, carton counts, or label data trigger partner chargebacks and delay downstream invoice reconciliation.
Disconnected systems force teams to rekey order and shipment data, introducing costly errors into billing.
