What is Marathon Distribution EDI?

Marathon Distribution EDI automates warehouse shipping releases, shipping confirmations, and inventory sync for third-party logistics operators. By standardizing electronic transmissions of Warehouse Shipping Order (EDI 940), Advance Ship Notice (EDI 856), and Warehouse Shipping Advices (EDI 945), vendors eliminate manual administrative errors, accelerate dock receiving throughput, and protect operating margins across third-party contract warehousing, multi-client cross-docking, and omni-channel distribution supply channels. Integrating warehouse shipping orders, shipping advices, and advance ship notices ensures seamless 3PL fulfillment and prevents inventory variance discrepancies.
