What is NovaBay EDI?
NovaBay EDI is the structured X12 exchange of pharmaceutical purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices between NovaBay and its supply chain partners. It enforces AS2 transport security, validated segment mapping, and barcode-aligned fulfillment documentation, keeping every order, shipment, and payment cycle synchronized across ERP systems and NovaBay's strict pharmaceutical compliance requirements.

Validate every 850, 855, 856, and 810 against NovaBay pharmaceutical specifications before release
Synchronize purchase orders, ship notices, and invoices directly with ERP records without manual re-entry
Maintain stable AS2 connections with certificate renewals, acknowledgments, and continuous transmission monitoring
NovaBay
EDI Integration
& Compliance
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals has spent two decades — since its 2000 founding in Emeryville, California — proving that antimicrobial precision changes patient outcomes. Its supply chain runs on the same principle: every 850, 855, 856, and 810 must land exactly to routing-guide spec, or the deviation returns to you as a chargeback. Cogential IT takes that risk off your desk entirely. Through our fully-managed cloud EDI, our integration specialists pre-build NovaBay's complex segment mapping, sync it live with your ERP, and transmit over encrypted AS2 — with every document validated before it ever leaves your system. No IT team required, no chargebacks, no surprises.
-
Zero Chargebacks, GuaranteedOur proprietary Validation Engine audits every 850, 855, 856, and 810 against NovaBay's routing guide before transmission — catching PO mismatches, date faults, and segment errors while they're still fixable. Non-compliant data never reaches NovaBay, so penalties never reach your P&L.
-
Fully-Managed AS2, Zero IT BurdenWe build, certificate-manage, and monitor your encrypted AS2 channels with NovaBay around the clock. Handshakes, retries, and acknowledgements are handled by our team — your IT department never touches a single protocol setting.
-
Pre-Built NovaBay Segment MappingNovaBay's complex routing-guide mapping arrives pre-configured — purchase orders, acknowledgements, ship notices, and invoices flow straight into your ERP, whether you run NetSuite, SAP, Sage, or QuickBooks. No rekeying, no mapping guesswork.
-
GS1-128 & DSV Compliance, AutomatedEvery shipment leaves with NovaBay-grade GS1-128 barcode labels and branded packing slips generated directly from your ASN data — DSV-ready, scan-accurate, and audit-proof by default.
Where does NovaBay EDI compliance usually get stuck?
Most NovaBay compliance failures happen when pharmaceutical operations, barcode labeling, and EDI mapping are managed in disconnected silos.
Carton barcodes, packing slips, and 856 ship notice data that disagree cause shipment-level compliance failures.
Invoices that mismatch acknowledged quantities or ship notice details trigger disputes and extended remittance timelines.

Validate NovaBay
EDI in Minutes
NovaBay's vendor requirements read like a clinical protocol — and our Validation Engine treats them that way. Before a single document transmits over AS2, we test each 850, 855, 856, and 810 against NovaBay's specific business rules: PO number and date alignment, quantity and UOM integrity, ship-to precision, GS1-128 label data, and branded packing slip consistency with the ASN. Errors surface in plain English with the exact fix, so your team corrects in minutes — not after a chargeback letter arrives.
-
Catch Errors Before TransmissionThe Validation Engine runs a pre-flight audit on every outbound document — segment structure, mandatory qualifiers, PO cross-references — and blocks anything NovaBay would reject. You see the error, the cause, and the fix in real time.
-
ASN Integrity Down to the CartonWe validate your 856 against NovaBay's pack hierarchy — from order to pack to carton — ensuring SSCC-18 carton labels, GS1-128 product tags, and shipped quantities reconcile perfectly before the truck leaves the dock.
-
Packing Slip & DSV AlignmentBranded packing slips are checked line-by-line against ASN data and NovaBay's DSV specifications, so what the warehouse prints matches what NovaBay's system expects — down to the PO number in the right corner.
-
Total Visibility, Every MilestoneTrack every 850 received, 855 acknowledged, 856 shipped, and 810 billed from one live dashboard — with full audit trails and compliance scoring that prove your NovaBay relationship is chargeback-proof.
