FulfillmentSnyder's-Lance EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of supply chain documents between Snyder's-Lance and its Food & Beverage trading partners. It automates purchase order receipt, acknowledgment, shipment notification, and invoicing through X12-compliant mappings, AS2 or VAN connectivity, and ERP-integrated workflows, eliminating manual data entry while enforcing partner-specific compliance rules across every transaction cycle.
Validates every purchase order, acknowledgment, ship notice, and invoice against Snyder's-Lance mapping specifications before transmission.
Synchronizes order, shipment, and invoice data directly into your ERP to eliminate re-keying errors.
Maintains stable AS2 and VAN connections with continuous monitoring, retries, and acknowledgment tracking.
Miss one ship date on an 856 or botch a UOM on an 810, and Snyder's-Lance will deduct the cost straight from your remittance — a penalty that can erase the margin on the entire order. Born from the 2010 merger of Snyder's of Hanover and Lance, Inc., this Charlotte, North Carolina snacking powerhouse enforces a routing guide that trips up even seasoned vendors: tight 855 acknowledgment windows, GS1-128 carton labeling, and branded packing slips on every DSV order. Cogential IT removes that risk entirely with a fully managed cloud EDI platform — pre-built maps for the 850, 855, 810, and 856, AS2 and VAN connectivity handled for you, and a real-time Validation Engine that blocks non-compliant documents before they ever transmit. Audit-proof compliance, zero IT burden, minimized chargebacks.
Every 850, 855, 810, and 856 is scrubbed against Snyder's-Lance's routing guide before transmission. If a compliance error somehow slips past our Validation Engine, we stand behind it — that's our assurance in writing.
We've already decoded Snyder's-Lance's segment-level demands — PO acknowledgment deadlines on the 855, ship-date precision and store-level detail on the 856 ASN, invoice-to-PO tolerance on the 810 — so your go-live is measured in days, not quarters.
Whether your relationship runs over direct AS2 or through a VAN, Cogential IT manages certificates, envelopes, MDNs, and acknowledgments behind the scenes. Your systems talk to us; we talk to Snyder's-Lance.
Purchase orders land directly in NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or QuickBooks; invoices and ASNs flow back out automatically. No spreadsheets, no swivel-chair data entry, no late-night keying sessions before the ship window closes.
Most compliance failures occur when daily operations and EDI mapping are managed by disconnected teams and systems.
Untracked 860 change requests cause mismatched acknowledgments, wrong quantities, and shipment discrepancies that trigger compliance exceptions downstream.
Mismatched barcode labels, packing slips, and 856 data cause receiving delays, chargebacks, and damaged vendor scorecards.
