Connect your ERP directly to Certco with automated EDI integration built for grocery supply chains. We automate purchase orders, grocery invoices, and product activity data between your system and Certco, so every shipment stays aligned with their routing guide.

Certco EDI coordinates automated grocery procurement and warehouse cross-dock replenishment for member supermarket cooperatives, independent grocers, and food wholesale depots. By standardizing electronic transmissions of Purchase Order (EDI 850), Electronic Invoice (EDI 810), and Advance Ship Notices (EDI 856), vendors eliminate manual administrative errors, accelerate dock receiving throughput, and protect operating margins across wholesale supermarket grocery distribution, cooperative food supply, and independent grocer retail supply channels. Automating purchase requests, multi-tier pallet notices, and electronic invoicing ensures swift cross-dock intake and prevents retail stocking out-of-stocks.
