Retail Network
Trading PartnerOcado EDI is the structured electronic exchange of retail trading documents between suppliers and Ocado's online grocery platform. It automates purchase order receipt, acknowledgment, shipment notification, and invoicing through standardized X12 formats, keeping product, pricing, and logistics data synchronized across retail supply chains while enforcing Ocado's strict trading partner compliance requirements for every transaction cycle.
Validating every purchase order acknowledgment and ship notice against Ocado's retail specification before transmission.
Synchronizing order, shipment, and invoice data directly with your ERP to eliminate manual re-entry errors.
Maintaining stable AS2 and SFTP connections so time-sensitive grocery replenishment documents never stall in transit.
Every hour your team spends re-keying orders is an hour Ocado's robotic fulfilment engines move without you. Established in 2000 and headquartered in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, this grocery-technology pioneer — the platform behind some of the world's most automated retail supply chains — enforces a vendor routing guide with zero tolerance for drift: AS2 and SFTP connectivity, tightly mapped EDI 850 purchase orders, 855 acknowledgements, 810 invoices, and EDI 856 ASNs, plus GS1-128 barcode and branded DSV packing slip requirements. One mis-mapped segment becomes a chargeback; one late ASN strands your stock outside their fulfilment pipeline. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform absorbs all of it — pre-configured mappings, real-time validation, and a Reduced Chargebacks Assurance — so you trade with Ocado at enterprise grade without hiring a single EDI analyst. Talk to an integration specialist.
Our proprietary validation engine screens every outbound 810 invoice and 856 ASN against Ocado's routing guide before transmission — so compliance deductions never touch your margin.
No servers, no middleware, no EDI hires. Cogential IT runs your entire Ocado connection — AS2 certificates, SFTP credentials, and routing-guide updates — from our cloud, end to end.
850s, 855s, 810s, and 856s are mapped segment-by-segment to Ocado's specification and synced bi-directionally with your ERP — SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics, or custom — right out of the box.
Carton-level GS1-128 barcode labels and branded packing slips for direct-ship vendor orders are generated and validated automatically with every shipment — no manual label formatting, ever.
Most compliance failures happen when fulfillment operations and EDI mapping are managed as separate workflows.
We automate 855 generation from your ERP so every Ocado order is acknowledged within required windows.
Our validation engine aligns 856 line data with barcode labels before documents reach Ocado's systems.
We reconcile 810 invoice lines against acknowledged orders and ASNs, preventing chargebacks and payment delays.

Ocado's fulfilment centres run on split-second automation — which is why their routing guide rejects imperfect data without mercy. Cogential IT's validation engine is pre-loaded with Ocado's exact business rules: PO date windows, price and quantity tolerances, GTIN accuracy, ship-point consistency, and ASN-to-carton integrity. Every 850, 855, 810, and 856 is interrogated in real time before it leaves your system, and violations surface in plain English — not X12 jargon — so your team fixes issues in minutes, not after a deduction letter arrives. The result: clean transmissions, on-time ASNs, and a compliance record that keeps your products flowing through their automated sheds.
