Lolli and Pops EDI is the structured electronic exchange of retail trading documents between Northern Tool and its suppliers, covering purchase orders, shipment notices, and invoices. It enforces Northern Tool's retail compliance rules through standardized X12 formats, AS2 transport, and validated data alignment, replacing manual order entry with automated, audit-ready transaction processing.
Validate every purchase order, ship notice, and invoice against Northern Tool's retail vendor compliance guidelines before release.
Sync PO, ASN, and invoice data directly into your ERP to eliminate re-keying and mismatched shipment records.
Maintain stable AS2 connections with continuous certificate monitoring so no trading window is interrupted during peak retail cycles.
Behind every impeccably merchandised Lolli and Pops shelf sits a vendor compliance program with zero tolerance for error. The gourmet gifting brand — launched in San Francisco in 2012 and now a fixture in premium mall retail — expects every EDI 850 purchase order, EDI 856 ASN, and EDI 810 invoice to arrive over AS2 with precise segment mapping, GS1-128 barcode data, and branded packing slips on DSV orders. One missed segment or non-compliant label, and a chargeback quietly eats your margin. Cogential IT's fully managed Cloud EDI platform removes that risk entirely: our specialists pre-build Lolli and Pops' entire EDI compliance profile, scrub every document in real time before transmission, and stand behind it with a Zero-Chargeback Guarantee — no IT team required.
Most Northern Tool chargebacks begin when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are managed separately.
Carton-level detail frequently mismatches actual shipment contents, creating receiving delays, compliance flags, and avoidable vendor chargebacks.
Unacknowledged PO revisions leave suppliers shipping outdated quantities, prices, and dates straight into compliance exceptions.
Invoice lines drifting from PO and ASN quantities trigger pricing mismatches, deductions, and delayed payment cycles.
We pre-map Northern Tool's retail requirements, test every document flow against live scenarios, and support your ERP integration long after go-live.
Our mapping library already reflects Northern Tool's retail vendor guidelines, cutting implementation cycles from weeks down to just days.
We align carton, barcode, and packing slip data with every ship notice so receiving docks process without exceptions.
Documents flow directly into Epicor, SAP, Infor, Dynamics, and other supported ERPs without manual re-entry or flat-file babysitting.
Pre-transaction validation catches quantity, date, and pricing errors before transmission, protecting your margins from avoidable retail deductions and disputes.
Our team watches every AS2 session and document acknowledgment, resolving stalled transmissions before Northern Tool ever notices delays.
Certification testing, connection setup, and first production transactions all follow a documented schedule, keeping your launch dates predictable.

Lolli and Pops' routing guide isn't generic retail EDI — it's a specific set of business rules, and our proprietary Validation Engine is trained on every one of them. Before a single document transmits over AS2, we test your 850 responses, 856 carton-level detail, and 810 invoice math against their exact requirements: PO line matching, date qualifiers, GS1-128 barcode integrity, and branded packing slip data for DSV orders. Errors are caught, explained in plain English, and corrected in minutes — while they're still yours to fix, not fines on a deduction notice. That is how Cogential IT delivers 99.9% data accuracy and a Zero-Chargeback Guarantee.
