What is AIMIA EDI?
AIMIA EDI is the structured electronic exchange of purchase orders, acknowledgments, invoices, and remittance documents between AIMIA and its trading partners. Operating within the Business & Professional Services sector, it replaces manual order processing with standardized X12 transactions, validated mappings, and secure SFTP transmission, keeping every order-to-payment cycle accurate, compliant, and synchronized with back-office systems.
Services-sector order-to-cash compliance readiness
Pre-trade validation of purchase orders, acknowledgments, and invoices against AIMIA's specifications to eliminate rejections.
Direct synchronization of orders and invoices with your ERP, eliminating re-keying and keeping financial data aligned.
Stable SFTP connectivity with encrypted transfers, retry logic, and monitoring so no document is lost.
AIMIA
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Trading with AIMIA — the Montreal, Quebec-headquartered loyalty and data services powerhouse whose corporate lineage reaches back to 1984 — means operating under a routing guide that tolerates zero improvisation. Every EDI 850 purchase order and EDI 810 invoice you transmit over SFTP must arrive structurally flawless, or the fallout is immediate: rejected documents, stalled fulfillment, and chargebacks that quietly bleed margin. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform was engineered for exactly this reality — we pre-configure AIMIA's complex segment mapping, own the SFTP channel end-to-end, and run every document through our real-time Validation Engine before it ever leaves your system. No IT team required. No errors transmitted. No chargebacks.
-
The Zero-Chargeback GuaranteeEvery document bound for AIMIA is validated against their routing guide before transmission. If a fully compliant 810 or 850 still triggers a chargeback, we absorb the penalty — in writing. Your margin stays yours.
-
Fully Managed, Zero IT LiftNo servers to patch, no SFTP credentials to babysit, no X12 specs to decode. Cogential IT owns AIMIA's entire connectivity stack — secure SFTP channel setup, credential management, and 24/7 document monitoring — so your IT managers stay focused on strategy, not tickets.
-
Pre-Built AIMIA Segment MappingOur integration specialists have already decoded AIMIA's segment-level requirements for 850s and 810s. Every BEG, PO1, and DTM loop is pre-mapped to your ERP — SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, or custom — and live in days, not months.
-
Total Document VisibilityTrack every purchase order and invoice in real time: when it hit AIMIA's SFTP server, whether it cleared their acknowledgment cycle, and exactly where it sits in the lifecycle. No black holes, no 'did they get it?' phone calls.
Where does AIMIA EDI compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance failures occur when daily business operations and EDI mapping are managed separately.
Unvalidated invoices and absent acknowledgments cause rejections, remittance confusion, and reconciliation backlogs that strain relationships.
Unmonitored connections silently drop documents, leaving orders unacknowledged and invoices undiscovered until payment delays surface.

Validate AIMIA
EDI in Minutes
AIMIA's compliance rules aren't exotic — they're just unforgiving. Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine tests every outbound 850 and 810 against AIMIA's live business rules in real time: mandatory segment sequencing, required data elements, date and qualifier formats, price-quantity math, and PO-to-invoice line reconciliation. Errors surface with plain-English remediation guidance before transmission, never as a rejection notice after the fact. That discipline is what powers our 99.9% first-pass acceptance rate — and it's what lets us put a Zero-Chargeback Guarantee in writing.
-
Catch Errors Before AIMIA DoesOur Validation Engine replicates AIMIA's inbound parsing logic on every outbound document. Missing DTM dates, mismatched totals, invalid qualifiers — flagged and corrected in minutes, not discovered in a chargeback memo weeks later.
-
Plain-English Error IntelligenceNo cryptic X12 codes dumped on your vendor coordinators. When validation flags an issue, you see the exact segment, the exact field, and the exact fix — written for supply chain professionals, not EDI analysts.
-
Automated PO-to-Invoice ReconciliationThe fastest path to an 810 rejection is an invoice that doesn't tie back to the original 850. Our engine cross-verifies line quantities, unit pricing, and UOMs against AIMIA's purchase order before transmission — guaranteeing arithmetic integrity on every line.
