SYSTEM READYPrime Distribution Services Inc EDI is the standardized electronic data interchange framework used by 3PL providers to automate warehouse shipping orders, shipping advice, and shipment manifests. It enables seamless data exchange between logistics partners, ensuring accurate, compliant fulfillment through adherence to Prime’s specific document formats and communication protocols.
Validate 940 Warehouse Shipping Orders against warehouse slot availability before execution.
Synchronize 945 Shipping Advice with 3PL WMS to eliminate manual data re-entry.

Every hour your team spends manually keying warehouse shipping orders into Prime Distribution Services Inc's portal is an hour of margin erosion. As a dominant force in the third-party logistics sector, their routing guide demands seamless execution across EDI 940, EDI 945, and EDI 856 transactions—all transmitted via AS2 or SFTP. One misplaced segment or missing GS1-128 barcodes triggers immediate chargebacks and shipment delays. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI platform eliminates that risk entirely, automating every document flow while enforcing Prime's exact compliance rules, including branded packing slips, so you achieve minimized chargebacks and 99.9% data accuracy from day one.
Prime Distribution Services Inc enforces strict EDI 940 warehouse shipping orders, EDI 945 warehouse shipping advice, and EDI 856 advance ship notices. Our managed service assurances every document meets their AS2 and SFTP transmission specs, eliminating costly penalties.
We pre-configure your system to produce GS1-128 barcode labels that Prime's WMS scans instantly, syncing with your EDI 856 ASN to prevent receiving discrepancies and manual rework.
Cogential IT injects Prime's required branded packing slip data directly into your print stream, ensuring every carton meets their DSV requirements while you focus on core operations.
