What is Boca EDI?
Boca EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of business documents between food and beverage suppliers and Boca's procurement systems. It ensures real-time transmission of purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices, enabling strict compliance with Boca's supply chain requirements and reducing manual data entry errors across the order-to-cash cycle.

Operational Focus
Where does Boca compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues arise when EDI mapping and physical labeling workflows are disconnected.
01
Are your ASN labels matching Boca's carton requirements?
Mismatched barcode labels cause immediate rejection; our system aligns label data with the 856 ASN precisely.
02
Does your 855 acknowledgment reflect accurate inventory?
Inaccurate PO acknowledgments lead to fulfillment delays; we sync real-time inventory data to confirm line items.
03
Is your 810 invoice matching the shipped quantities?
Invoice discrepancies trigger payment holds; we reconcile 810 data against the 856 to ensure accuracy.
