Retail Network
Trading PartnerWestrow Food Group EDI is a food and beverage industry electronic data interchange compliance framework that automates the exchange of purchase orders and invoices between trading partners. It ensures accurate, real-time transaction processing to meet vendor requirements, reducing manual data entry and minimizing chargebacks in the fast-moving consumer goods supply chain.
Ensuring every 850 and 875 purchase order is validated against Westrow’s required fields to prevent rejection.
Automating invoice (810) generation directly from fulfillment data to avoid billing discrepancies.
Maintaining VAN-based communication with verified delivery and immediate error notification.
Westrow Food Group, a leading player in the food & beverage sector, enforces one of the most stringent routing guides in the industry. Their reliance on VAN communication and complex transaction sets—EDI 850, EDI 810, and EDI 875—leaves no room for error. Missing GS1-128 barcodes or branded packing slips (DSV) triggers immediate chargebacks and vendor scorecard penalties. Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform eliminates this risk with fully managed integration, pre-configured segment mapping, and a Reduced Chargebacks Assurance. Our Barcode Labeling engine ensures every carton meets Westrow's exact specifications.
We map Westrow's VAN-based EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 810 invoices, and EDI 875 grocery products directly into your ERP—no manual re-keying, no missed deadlines, and minimized chargebacks verified.
Our platform auto-generates GS1-128 labels that meet Westrow's exact carton and pallet requirements, eliminating costly relabeling and shipment rejections.
Cogential IT produces Westrow-compliant branded packing slips and DSV documents automatically, ensuring every shipment passes their receiving dock without delay.
We handle all VAN communication setup and maintenance, so your team never touches a single EDI envelope or worries about protocol mismatches.
Failures occur when EDI mapping ignores real-world distribution and labeling processes.
Mapping errors in product codes or units of measure lead to Westrow rejecting entire purchase orders, halting fulfillment.

Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine acts as a pre-flight check for every Westrow Food Group transaction. Before any EDI 850, 810, or 875 leaves your system, our engine cross-references Westrow's routing guide—checking segment order, mandatory qualifiers, barcode syntax, and packing slip data.
