Trading PartnerTree of Life EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of business documents within the food and beverage supply chain, ensuring compliant order-to-cash workflows between suppliers and distributors.

Monitors AS2 and VAN communication channels to assurance uninterrupted document transmission.
Every manual keystroke in your Tree of Life order flow is a ticking time bomb—one wrong GTIN, one missing ASN, and you're staring down a chargeback that erases your margin. Since 1970, Tree of Life has grown from a St. Augustine, Florida startup into a powerhouse in natural and specialty food distribution, and their routing guide is notoriously unforgiving. But with Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform, you don't just survive their compliance—you dominate it. We handle the full AS2 and VAN connectivity, pre-map every transaction set from the 850 purchase order to the 875 grocery products purchase order, and ensure your EDI 856 advance ship notices are seamless before they ever hit Tree of Life's system.
Tree of Life's routing guide is strict on purchase orders. Our managed EDI validates every 850 and 875 against your item master, pricing, and UOMs before transmission, and we automatically generate the 855 acknowledgment to confirm acceptance—so you never ship on a bad order.
We handle the full AS2 and VAN setup, digital certificates, and ongoing monitoring. No IT team required—just plug into our cloud and start trading with Tree of Life in days, not months.
Tree of Life requires GS1-128 barcodes on every carton and pallet. Our system auto-generates compliant labels and validates the 856 against the 850, eliminating ASN rejections and chargebacks.
We produce Tree of Life's branded packing slips and DSV documents automatically, so your shipments arrive retail-ready and audit-proof. Plus, we automate the 810 invoice to close the loop.
