What is Concentric EDI?

Concentric EDI is the structured electronic exchange of manufacturing purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices between Concentric and its supply chain trading partners. It enforces strict X12 compliance across order-to-cash workflows, synchronizing ERP data through AS2 or VAN transport so production schedules, shipments, and billing remain aligned without manual re-entry or reconciliation delays.

CLOUD EDI PLATFORM

Concentric EDI Integration
& Compliance

Concentric sits at the demanding end of the manufacturing supply chain — one mis-mapped segment or a late 856 ASN, and chargebacks start stacking up while shipments stall. Their routing guide calls for AS2 and VAN connectivity, strict document sequencing, and flawless data across every 850, 855, 856, and 810. Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform absorbs that complexity entirely: we configure the connections, pre-map the segments, and run each document through our proprietary Validation Engine against Concentric's EDI Compliance rules before transmission. The outcome is simple — zero chargebacks, 99.9% data accuracy, and a fully-managed EDI operation that never requires an in-house IT team.

  • Fully-Managed, Zero-Lift Onboarding
    Cogential IT handles the entire Concentric onboarding — AS2 and VAN connection setup, mapping, testing, and certification. Your team never touches a routing guide or implementation spec; we effectively become your EDI department.
  • Complete Order-to-Cash Automation
    Every transaction set Concentric requires is pre-built and production-ready: 850 Purchase Orders in, 855 Acknowledgements out, 856 ASNs transmitted on time, and 810 Invoices generated automatically — no rekeying, no delays, no missed windows.
  • Pre-Configured Segment Mapping
    Concentric's complex segment-level requirements are already translated inside our platform. We convert their specifications into clean, structured data that syncs seamlessly with your ERP, accounting, or warehouse system — no custom coding on your side.
  • Real-Time Error Interception
    Our proprietary Validation Engine inspects every outbound document against Concentric's exact business rules before it leaves your system — catching missing segments, invalid qualifiers, and pricing mismatches while they are still free to fix.

Compliance Intelligence

Where does Concentric compliance usually get stuck?

Most compliance issues happen when manufacturing operations and EDI mapping are managed separately from ERP workflows.

01
Do purchase order acknowledgments match Concentric's required response timelines?

We map 855 acknowledgment logic directly into your ERP so accepted and rejected lines respond within required windows.

Resolve ?
02
Are ship notice carton details aligned with physical shipments?

Barcode labels, packing slips, and 856 ASN data are validated together so carton-level detail never diverges.

Resolve ?
03
Can invoices survive Concentric's pricing and tolerance checks?

Invoice data flows from acknowledged orders and ship notices, keeping pricing, quantities, and terms within tolerance.

The Cogential IT Edge

Why Manufacturers Trust Us for Concentric EDI Compliance

We combine manufacturing ERP depth, prebuilt Concentric mappings, and round-the-clock monitoring so your team never chases rejected documents or chargeback disputes.

01

Prebuilt Concentric Mapping Library

Our library carries tested Concentric transaction templates, cutting onboarding weeks down to days with proven, audit-ready mapping logic.

02

Deep Manufacturing ERP Expertise

We integrate Concentric EDI with Epicor, SAP, Infor, and Plex so production and finance teams work from one dataset.

03

Label and ASN Data Alignment

Barcode labels and packing slips are generated from the same dataset as your 856, eliminating carton mismatches at receiving docks.

04

24/7 AS2 and VAN Monitoring

Certificate expirations, connection drops, and stalled transfers are caught by our monitoring desk before they interrupt Concentric document flow.

05

Zero Manual Re-Entry Workflows

Orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices move straight into your ERP, removing spreadsheet work and double-keying errors entirely.

06

Compliance Testing Before Go-Live

Every transaction set passes certification testing against Concentric requirements before production, so your first live document is already compliant.

VALIDATION ENGINE

Validate Concentric
EDI in Minutes

Before a single document reaches Concentric, Cogential IT's Validation Engine runs it through their precise compliance profile — segment sequencing, date formats, unit-of-measure rules, and acknowledgment deadlines. Errors surface in minutes with plain-English insights instead of cryptic X12 codes, so your team resolves issues before they ever become deductions. The result: documents that clear Concentric's testing on the first submission, backed by our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee on every transmission.

  • GS1-128 Barcode Labeling, Handled
    Concentric requires GS1-128 compliant carton and pallet labels — and our platform generates them automatically from your shipment data, with correct application identifiers on every label, every time. Barcode compliance stops being a manual chore.
  • Branded Packing Slips & DSV-Ready Docs
    Drop-ship and branded packing slip requirements are configured once by our integration specialists and applied automatically thereafter — every shipment arrives with Concentric-ready documentation, shielding you from avoidable compliance deductions.
  • Chargeback Defense, Guaranteed
    Late ASNs, inaccurate quantities, and labeling violations are the three biggest chargeback triggers in manufacturing retail programs. Our Validation Engine blocks them at the source — and our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee puts our liability where our confidence is.
  • Total Visibility, Minute by Minute
    Track every 850, 855, 856, and 810 in real time from one dashboard. Know exactly what Concentric received, acknowledged, and processed — no more guessing, no more chasing status through follow-up emails.
