Why do 940 orders get rejected?
Agility may reject a 940 when warehouse order details, ship-to locations, carrier codes, or required reference numbers do not match their routing guide. Our validation layer catches these issues before transmission.

What is Agility EDI?
A strong Agility EDI integration keeps your warehouse orders, shipping confirmations, and carrier status updates moving automatically between your ERP and Agility's systems. Instead of retyping 940 instructions or chasing 945 updates by phone, your documents flow through AS2 or SFTP in the format Agility expects. That means fewer missed pickups, faster dock turnaround, and cleaner 3PL billing.
01

Send EDI 940 warehouse orders straight from your ERP so Agility receives accurate pick, pack, and ship instructions without manual re-entry.
02
Agility EDI Operations
Receive EDI 945 warehouse shipping advice back from Agility so your inventory and billing records update as soon as cartons leave the dock.
03
Agility EDI Operations
Exchange EDI 214 shipment status messages to track freight in transit and keep customers informed of pickup, arrival, and delivery milestones.
FREIGHT EDI AUTOMATION
Agility Carrier Status & Warehouse Sync
Cogential IT connects your ERP or WMS directly to Agility through a managed B2B EDI Integration pipeline. We translate your warehouse orders into the 940 format Agility expects, receive 945 shipping confirmations back into your inventory system, and feed 214 shipment status updates into your customer service workflow. The result is a single, reliable data stream that keeps freight schedules, billing records, and dock appointments aligned without manual retyping or spreadsheet handoffs.

Zero Rigidity
Where Agility EDI Compliance Gets Tight
Small document mismatches in freight logistics can turn into delayed loads, rejected shipments, and avoidable carrier penalties.
What happens if 945 timing slips?
Late or mismatched 945 shipping advice can create billing disputes and inventory blind spots. We automate the 945 response so your records stay in sync with Agility's warehouse events.
Are GS1-128 labels mandatory?
For Cross-Dock DC shipments, Agility often expects GS1-128 carton labels that tie physical cartons to the EDI data. A missing or unreadable label can trigger Agility vendor chargeback prevention headaches and dock delays.
