WSI (Warehouse Specialists) EDI is the electronic exchange of warehouse shipping orders, shipping advices, and ship notices between WSI's 3PL operations and client ERP systems. It automates inbound fulfillment instructions, outbound shipment confirmation, and inventory visibility, ensuring every pick, pack, and ship event syncs accurately across AS2 and SFTP channels without manual re-entry.
Validate every 940 shipping order against WSI routing guides before release to warehouse floor systems.
Sync 945 shipping advices and 856 ASNs with ERP order, inventory, and shipment records in real time.
Maintain stable AS2 and SFTP connections with acknowledgment monitoring to prevent missed warehouse transactions.
Few 3PL networks police inbound data as rigorously as WSI (Warehouse Specialists) — the Appleton, Wisconsin-headquartered logistics powerhouse that has been running warehouse operations since 1987. Their routing guide demands seamless EDI 940 shipping orders, airtight 856 ASN documentation backed by GS1-128 barcodes, and branded packing slips on every DSV order — all exchanged over AS2 or SFTP. Miss one segment, and the chargeback lands on your P&L, not theirs. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform absorbs that complexity for you: pre-configured WSI segment mapping, seamless ERP integration, and a proprietary Validation Engine that catches errors before transmission — all backed by our Reduced Chargebacks Assurance.

WSI's EDI 940 warehouse shipping orders flow straight from your ERP to their distribution centers without a single keystroke — pick, pack, and ship instructions mapped precisely to their segment specifications by our integration team, not your IT staff.
Every EDI 945 shipping advice returning from WSI is captured, matched against the originating 940, and posted back into your ERP automatically — keeping inventory accuracy, invoicing, and open-order status in perfect lockstep.
Cogential IT establishes, certifies, and maintains WSI's AS2 and SFTP connections end-to-end — certificate renewals, acknowledgments, and 24/7 exchange monitoring included. No firewall wrangling, no dropped transmissions, no IT team required.
From GS1-128 (UCC-128) carton labels to WSI's branded packing slip requirements on direct-ship vendor orders, every physical compliance artifact is generated and verified alongside the electronic document — so the box matches the ASN, every time.

WSI's routing guide is a rulebook, not a suggestion — and Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine has it memorized. Before a single 940, 945, or 856 leaves your system, every document is tested in real time against WSI's exact segment requirements, quantity tolerances, date formats, and barcode expectations. Errors surface in plain English with the fix already identified — not as a cryptic rejection three days after your freight has hit their dock. The outcome: 99.9% data accuracy, zero compliance flags, and a Reduced Chargebacks Assurance that puts our money behind your margins.
