Real-Time 856 ASN & 855 PO Acknowledgment for Smiths Food And Drug Stores

Smiths Food And Drug Stores EDI Integration
& Compliance

A grocery institution since 1911 — born in Pocatello, Idaho and now steered from Salt Lake City, Utah as a flagship division of the Kroger empire — Smiths Food And Drug Stores enforces a vendor routing guide with zero tolerance for improvisation. Every 850 purchase order demands a rapid 855 acknowledgement, a GS1-128 barcode-labeled 856 ASN, and an 810 invoice that reconciles line-for-line — all exchanged over AS2 or VAN. One mis-mapped segment, and chargebacks start eroding your margin before the truck is even unloaded. Cogential IT's fully-managed cloud EDI takes that entire compliance chain off your desk — no IT team required, backed by our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee. Talk to an integration specialist →

• Purchase Orders Without the Rekeying

  Smiths' 850s land directly in your order workflow — parsed, mapped, and pushed into your ERP or accounting system in seconds, so your team commits stock and schedules shipments instead of typing POs by hand.
• 855 Acknowledgements on Autopilot

  The moment a purchase order arrives, our platform auto-generates the 855 — accepting, flagging, or amending line items within Smiths' strict response windows so you never default into a compliance breach.
• AS2 & VAN, Pre-Wired for You

  Whether Smiths Food And Drug Stores exchanges documents via direct AS2 or through its VAN, we maintain the certificates, envelopes, MDNs, and retry logic — connectivity you never have to babysit.
• Invoices Built to Reconcile

  810 invoices are generated from confirmed shipment data — priced, extended, and matched against the original 850 — so payment cycles accelerate instead of stalling in deduction disputes.
