Most compliance issues happen when warehouse events and EDI mapping are handled separately, causing late or mismatched 945/856 outputs.
Poor 940 mapping creates picking and routing errors that cascade into incorrect 945 and 856 data downstream.
Mismatched 945 data against labels or packing slips triggers chargebacks and delayed receipt confirmations from Frontier Logistics.
Late or inaccurate 856 messages break visibility dashboards and disrupt downstream inventory allocation across customer systems.
We combine 3PL warehouse expertise, certified mapping, and proactive testing to deliver faster onboarding and fewer chargebacks than generic EDI providers.
