What is Loomis EDI?
Loomis EDI is the structured electronic exchange of warehouse shipping orders, shipping advices, load responses, and carrier documents between Loomis and its trading partners across the Logistics & Transportation industry. It standardizes fulfillment, shipment confirmation, and remittance data flows over AS2 or VAN connections, ensuring every transaction validates against Loomis mapping specifications before entering your ERP.

02
Warehouse fulfillment accuracy and carrier visibility focus
Shipping orders and advices synchronized directly into your ERP to eliminate manual re-entry and inventory mismatches.

Warehouse fulfillment accuracy and carrier visibility focus
Stable AS2 and VAN connections with continuous monitoring, acknowledgments, and retry handling for uninterrupted document exchange.
CLOUD EDI PLATFORM
Loomis
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Move freight with Loomis — a recognized force in the logistics and transportation sector — and one truth surfaces fast: their network runs on precision, and your EDI has to match it. Every EDI 940 warehouse shipping order and EDI 945 shipping advice must move over AS2 or VAN connections with flawless segment mapping, because in transportation a stalled transmission means a stalled shipment. Cogential IT lifts the entire burden off your desk with a fully-managed cloud EDI operation: our specialists pre-configure Loomis's routing requirements, wire both communication channels, and monitor every exchange around the clock — so freight keeps moving and your team stays focused on shipping, not syntax.
-
940s Decoded on ArrivalLoomis's warehouse shipping orders land in your world as clean, actionable data. Our pre-configured segment mapping converts every inbound 940 straight into your ERP or WMS format — no rekeying, no spreadsheets, no missed pick windows.
-
945s Out the Door, On TimeThe moment freight ships, your 945 shipping advice is generated, validated, and transmitted back to Loomis automatically — keeping their warehouse visibility complete and your vendor compliance record spotless.
-
AS2 & VAN, Pre-WiredWe establish and maintain both channels Loomis supports — encrypted AS2 for direct, high-speed exchange and VAN connectivity for redundancy — with certificates, retries, and failovers handled invisibly in the background.
-
Zero IT Headcount RequiredNo servers to patch, no middleware to babysit, no midnight transport-log emergencies. Our fully-managed cloud EDI platform runs the entire Loomis integration end to end, freeing your IT managers for strategic work.

Where does Loomis EDI compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are managed separately from core ERP workflows.
Are load tender responses slowing carrier confirmation cycles?
Unanswered 990 tenders stall shipment scheduling; our automation returns accept or decline responses within minutes.
Is carrier status visibility fragmented across disconnected systems?
Missing 315 status updates leave teams guessing; we route milestone data straight into your ERP dashboards.

VALIDATION ENGINE
Validate Loomis
EDI in Minutes
Transportation partners like Loomis don't send warnings — they send deductions. Our proprietary Validation Engine screens every outbound 945 against Loomis's specific business rules before a single byte leaves your system: mismatched quantities, invalid date formats, missing reference segments, and routing anomalies are flagged in real time with plain-English fixes. Errors that would surface as chargebacks weeks later get caught in seconds, holding every exchange to 99.9% data accuracy — the standard behind our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee.
-
Routing-Guide-Level ScrutinyThe Validation Engine is loaded with Loomis's exact trading partner profile — every segment, element, and qualifier is checked against their specific requirements, not generic X12 defaults that let costly mistakes slip through.
-
Errors Die at the GatewayOutbound 945s are screened segment-by-segment before transmission, while inbound 940s are parsed with equal rigor — bad data never reaches Loomis, and their orders never reach you corrupted.
-
Plain-English Error InsightWhen something needs attention, your vendor coordinators see precisely what failed, why it failed, and how to fix it — no EDI translator expertise required to resolve a compliance issue in minutes.
-
Audit-Ready Exchange VisibilityA live dashboard tracks every 940 and 945 moving between you and Loomis — sent, acknowledged, or flagged — giving supply chain directors defensible, timestamped proof of compliance at any given moment.
