Smartpak EDI is the structured electronic exchange of retail trading documents between Smartpak and its suppliers, covering purchase orders, shipment notices, and invoices. Cogential IT maps each transaction to Smartpak's compliance specifications, synchronizes data with your ERP, and transmits everything over AS2, ensuring accurate, audit-ready fulfillment without manual re-entry or chargeback exposure.

Sync order, shipment, and billing data directly into your ERP to eliminate manual re-entry errors.
Maintain stable AS2 connections with continuous monitoring so no Smartpak transaction is ever lost or delayed.
SmartPak has been raising the bar in equestrian retail since 1999, when the Plymouth, Massachusetts-based brand pioneered its customized daily supplement packs — and that same precision now defines its vendor compliance program. Purchase orders (EDI 850) arrive over AS2 with tight fulfillment windows, every 856 ASN must carry seamless GS1-128 barcode data, and each 810 invoice is matched line-by-line against the original PO. One slip, and chargebacks erode your margin before the pallet clears their dock. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI platform absorbs that complexity end-to-end — pre-configured segment mapping, real-time validation, and a Reduced Chargebacks Assurance — so you meet SmartPak spec without hiring a single EDI specialist.
Cogential IT stands up your dedicated AS2 connection to SmartPak with certificates, encryption, and MDN handling already configured — no firewall wrangling, no IT tickets, just a compliant pipe that goes live in days, not months.
Every SmartPak 850 lands in your order system pre-mapped and validated — item IDs, UOMs, ship-to locations, and cost data normalized automatically — so your team never rekeys a line item or misreads a ship window again.
We generate ASN 856 documents with SSCC and GS1-128 label data built to SmartPak's routing guide, synced with pick-and-pack workflows so carton contents, pallet detail, and ship dates reconcile perfectly every time.
Invoices are assembled from actual shipment data — pricing, allowances, and payment terms aligned to the original PO — eliminating the quantity and price mismatches that trigger SmartPak's compliance deductions.
Most Smartpak compliance failures happen when fulfillment operations and EDI mapping are managed separately.

SmartPak's routing guide leaves little room for interpretation — and neither does our proprietary Validation Engine. Before a single document crosses the AS2 pipe, we test every 850 acknowledgment, 856 ASN, and 810 invoice against SmartPak's exact business rules: PO number integrity, ship-date windows, GS1-128 check digits and application identifiers, unit-of-measure consistency, and branded packing slip requirements on drop-ship orders. Errors surface in plain English with the exact segment and data element to fix — not a cryptic rejection after the fact. The result: 99.9% first-pass acceptance and chargebacks that simply never happen.
