HiTouch Business Services EDI is the structured electronic exchange of purchase orders, acknowledgments, and invoices between HiTouch Business Services and its wholesale and distribution trading partners. Cogential IT maps each document to HiTouch compliance specifications, validates data against ERP records, and transmits everything over secure VAN connectivity for accurate, audit-ready order-to-invoice operations.
Validate every 850, 855, and 810 against HiTouch Business Services specifications before release.
Sync purchase orders, acknowledgments, and invoices directly with Epicor, SAP, or Dynamics 365 records.
Maintain stable VAN-based connectivity with monitored, acknowledged, and automatically retried transmissions around the clock.
Every 850 that lands in your queue from HiTouch Business Services is a compliance test your margins can't afford to fail. Behind that routing guide sits a Memphis, Tennessee-headquartered distributor — formed in 2007 and grown into one of the nation's largest independent business-products suppliers — whose requirements leave no room for drift: VAN-transmitted 850s, 855s, and 810s, GS1-128 barcode labeling, and branded packing slips on DSV orders. Hand-key a single line item or mislabel one carton, and chargebacks quietly eat your invoice value. Cogential IT deletes that risk: our fully-managed cloud EDI platform translates every HiTouch mandate into your ERP automatically — no IT team required — while real-time validation locks in HiTouch EDI compliance before transmission, all backed by our Reduced Chargebacks Assurance.
HiTouch purchase orders come in through the VAN and leave as clean, validated sales orders inside your ERP — line items, pricing, and ship-to details intact. No re-keying, no spreadsheets, no 3 a.m. data-entry errors.
Meet HiTouch's acknowledgement windows without lifting a finger. We auto-generate 855s from live ERP inventory and order data — accepting, backordering, or flagging changes at line level — so buyers never chase you for confirmation.
Every invoice is assembled from acknowledged PO data, so quantities, unit prices, and allowances reconcile exactly against what HiTouch's systems expect. Fewer deductions, faster cash cycles, 99.9% data accuracy.
Mailbox provisioning, interconnects, testing, certification — Cogential IT manages the entire VAN relationship with HiTouch so your team never touches a transmission setting. You run fulfillment; we stay accountable for the pipe.

HiTouch's vendor guide isn't generic EDI — it's a layered rulebook covering segment sequencing, required qualifiers, date formats, price extensions, and shipping mandates like GS1-128 barcode data and branded packing slips on DSV orders. Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine screens every outbound 855 and 810 against those exact rules in real time, flagging discrepancies in plain English before a document ever reaches HiTouch's VAN mailbox. Errors get fixed in minutes — not discovered in a deduction notice weeks later. That discipline is what holds our partners at 99.9% data accuracy, and it's what keeps the Reduced Chargebacks Assurance a assurance.
