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 Zero-Chargeback Guarantee.
Most compliance issues happen when wholesale operations and HiTouch EDI mapping are managed separately.
We map inbound HiTouch purchase orders directly into your ERP, eliminating re-keying and accelerating acknowledgment turnaround.
Automated 855 generation confirms acceptance or changes within minutes, keeping HiTouch order status visible and current.
Three-way validation aligns invoices with original orders and acknowledgments, preventing pricing discrepancies and payment delays.
We combine HiTouch-specific mapping, pre-tested ERP connectors, and continuous VAN monitoring into one managed service that generic EDI providers cannot match.
Our pre-built HiTouch Business Services maps are tested against live specifications before your first production transaction ever runs.
Connect Epicor Kinetic, SAP S/4HANA, Dynamics 365, and other ERPs without custom coding or fragile point-to-point integration scripts.
Carton labels and packing slips are generated from the same data driving your ASN, keeping physical and digital shipments aligned.
Every VAN session is watched around the clock, with automatic retries and alerts before missed documents become problems.
Most suppliers go live with HiTouch Business Services in weeks, not months, through our structured testing and certification process.
Named integration engineers who know your HiTouch setup answer directly, so issues are resolved without vendor runaround or ticket queues.
Let our engineers own the mapping, testing, and monitoring while your team focuses on distribution growth.

Remittance advice closes the loop by matching HiTouch payments against transmitted invoices.

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 Zero-Chargeback Guarantee a guarantee.
