Manual data entry and slow onboarding are costing you money every single day. Westin Automotive, a powerhouse in the automotive aftermarket since 1977 and headquartered in San Dimas, California, enforces a strict routing guide that leaves zero room for error. One misplaced segment in your EDI 850 or a missing GS1-128 label on your EDI 856 triggers immediate chargebacks and shipment refusals.
