Step into the future of Logistics & Transportation with Arc Best EDI from Cogential IT LLC. We deliver world-class EDI services and cutting-edge ERP integration for a fully automated, hands-off workflow.
Arc Best EDI is a structured electronic data interchange framework that facilitates digital communication of logistics transactions between shippers, carriers, and the Arc Best network. It automates load tendering, freight invoicing, and shipment tracking using X12 standards, ensuring compliance, reducing manual errors, and accelerating supply chain visibility through secure document exchange.
Validation of load tender (204) and invoice (210) against Arc Best's format specs.
Real-time syncing of shipment status (214) with TMS dashboards to avoid blind spots.
Stable AS2/API connectivity ensuring secure and uninterrupted transmission of load documents.
Pre-validate EDI envelopes to Arc Best specs.
Sync freight data to TMS without delays.
Maintain 24/7 AS2 channel uptime.
Most compliance issues happen when freight dispatch and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Missing or incorrect SCAC codes or equipment length fields often cause instant rejections.
Mismatched PRO numbers or event timestamps that don't align with Arc Best's status codes.
Missing weight verification or NMFC item classifications result in audit flags and chargebacks.
Cogential IT delivers deep logistics TMS integrations and pre-tested Arc Best maps, ensuring zero-day go-live without trucking blind spots.
Our map library includes all required 204/210/211/214 transactions, validated against Arc Best's latest logistics specs.
We connect Arc Best EDI directly into Oracle TMS, SAP TM, and real-time visibility platforms to eliminate double-entry.
From 204 tender to 210 invoice, our workflows auto-generate acknowledgments and status responses without manual touch.
We manage secure AS2 certificates and API endpoints to keep freight data flowing reliably with Arc Best's systems.
Before going live, we run end-to-end test cycles with simulated load tenders and invoice scenarios to catch format errors.
