We automate purchase orders, advance ship notices, invoices, and inventory updates so your product catalog and shipments stay in sync.

With fast onboarding and 24-hour dedicated support, you trade confidently without building an internal EDI team.
Zola EDI is the structured electronic exchange of purchase orders, ship notices, invoices, and inventory data between Zola's e-commerce platform and supplier systems. It replaces manual order handling with standardized X12 documents transmitted over AS2, keeping product availability, fulfillment, and billing synchronized with Zola's trading requirements while enforcing strict format, timing, and acknowledgment compliance.
Validate every purchase order, ship notice, and invoice against Zola's e-commerce mapping rules before transmission.
Sync inventory advice and order data directly into ERP records to eliminate manual re-entry errors.
Maintain stable AS2 connections with timely acknowledgments so no Zola transaction is lost or delayed.
Since its 2013 founding in New York City, Zola has turned the wedding registry into a precision e-commerce machine — and it expects the same precision from every vendor feeding it. Their routing guide is unforgiving: AS2 transport, drop-ship 856 ASNs with GS1-128 barcodes, branded packing slips, and zero tolerance for error. Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform takes all of it off your plate — fully managed, pre-mapped to Zola's exact specs, and screened in real time across our AS2 communication channel, so compliance stops being your burden and becomes our assurance.
Zola's drop-ship model runs on the <strong>EDI 856</strong>. We build each ASN with carton-level detail, GS1-128 barcode references, and branded packing slip data — pushed over <strong>AS2</strong> the second your warehouse ships.
Every Zola <strong>EDI 850</strong> lands directly in your ERP — pre-mapped, validated, and acknowledged within minutes. No rekeying, no missed line items, no blown ship windows.
Your <strong>EDI 810</strong> invoices are reconciled against Zola's PO and receipt data before they ever transmit — so billing disputes and deductions simply never happen.
Automated <strong>EDI 846</strong> inventory feeds keep Zola's catalog accurate in real time, straight from your ERP — stockouts and oversells become extinct.
Most Zola compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Unmapped purchase order segments sit in queues until staff rekey them, delaying acknowledgment and shipment.
Carton-level shipment details that fail to match ordered quantities trigger rejections, chargebacks, and payment delays.
Inventory advice transmitted late or with inaccurate counts oversells stock and erodes Zola marketplace performance scores.
We run Zola-specific mapping, AS2 testing, and ERP integration in-house, so your team avoids generic VAN setups and repeated compliance rejections.
Our prebuilt Zola profiles cover purchase orders, ship notices, invoices, and inventory updates without lengthy discovery or rework cycles.
Orders, acknowledgments, and inventory records flow straight into Epicor, SAP, Dynamics 365, and other supported ERP platforms automatically.
We monitor certificates, acknowledgments, and retry logic continuously so Zola transmissions never fail silently during peak selling seasons.
Barcode labels and packing slips generate from the same source data as your ship notice, preventing costly mismatches.
Certification testing, connection setup, and your first production transaction typically complete within days rather than months of delays.
EDI specialists who know Zola's requirements respond around the clock, resolving document exceptions before they ever affect your shipments.

Zola's vendor compliance guide leaves no room for improvisation: a mismatched quantity, a missing GS1-128 barcode, or an unbranded packing slip can each trigger a deduction before your shipment even reaches their customers. Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine checks every outbound 856, 810, and 846 against Zola's exact business rules — segment by segment, field by field — and surfaces errors in real time, before transmission. Your team sees precisely what to fix, in plain language, within minutes of the order landing. That's how we hold the line at 99.9% data accuracy and stand behind every integration with a Reduced Chargebacks Assurance.
