Total Quality Logistics (TQL) EDI is the electronic exchange of warehouse shipping orders and shipping advice documents between shippers, the TQL transportation network, and trading partners. It automates freight tendering, fulfillment, and shipment confirmation workflows, synchronizing warehouse activity with ERP systems over secure AS2 or VAN connections to eliminate manual data entry and ensure logistics compliance.
Validate every warehouse shipping order and advice against TQL requirements before transmission to prevent fulfillment delays.
Sync ship-from quantities, carrier details, and shipment dates directly into your ERP without manual re-entry.
Maintain stable AS2 and VAN connections with continuous monitoring, retries, and acknowledged delivery for every document.
Moving freight since 1997 from its Milford, Ohio headquarters, Total Quality Logistics (TQL) has grown into one of North America's largest third-party logistics providers — and its vendor routing guide reflects that scale. Every EDI 940 warehouse shipping order and EDI 945 shipping advice you transmit over AS2 or VAN must land flawlessly, or freight stalls, invoices slip, and chargebacks pile up. Manual keying, missed GS1-128 barcode mandates, and off-spec DSV packing slips are precisely how vendors bleed margin. Cogential IT's fully-managed cloud EDI platform absorbs that entire burden — pre-built TQL maps, real-time validation, and zero IT overhead on your side.
Most TQL compliance issues happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are managed as separate, disconnected workflows.
Ship-to locations, item identifiers, and date formats frequently miss TQL mapping specifications, triggering rejections that delay warehouse release.
Warehouse advice quantities posted late or manually create ERP inventory mismatches and billing disputes downstream.
Carton labels and packing slips printed outside the EDI flow misalign with transmitted shipment data, causing receiving delays.
We combine TQL-specific mapping expertise, prebuilt ERP connectors, and round-the-clock monitoring so your warehouse documents flow without chargebacks or delays.
Our prebuilt TQL profiles validate 940 and 945 segments, qualifiers, and dates before anything reaches the warehouse network.
Certified connectors for Epicor Kinetic, SAP S/4HANA, Dynamics 365, and more push shipment data straight into daily operations.
Barcode labels and packing slips generate from the same validated shipment data, keeping physical cartons and electronic advice perfectly synchronized.
Every 940 and 945 exchange is monitored continuously, with failed transmissions retried and escalated before they impact fulfillment.
Our team handles TQL certification testing, mapping, and production cutover end to end, so your staff never touches EDI specifications.
Flat monthly pricing covers all TQL transactions, monitoring, and support, eliminating unpredictable per-kilobyte VAN charges from your logistics budget.

Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine screens every outbound 940 and 945 against TQL's live business rules before a single byte leaves your system — segment sequencing, required elements, date and quantity formats, GS1-128 barcode data, and DSV packing slip triggers all checked in real time. Violations surface in plain English, flagging the exact segment and element so your team corrects issues in minutes instead of discovering them in a chargeback letter weeks later. The payoff: 99.9% data accuracy, first-pass acknowledgments, and a compliance record that keeps freight moving — all backed by our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee.
