It automates the exchange of purchase orders, shipment notices, and invoices, ensuring real-time inventory visibility and compliance with Zulily’s vendor guidelines. The architecture relies on AS2 communication for secure, batch-oriented document transfer, integrating tightly with fulfillment systems to maintain order accuracy and speed.

Where Zulily EDI compliance usually gets stuck?
Most Zulily compliance failures stem from disconnected inventory data and delayed ASN transmissions.
Zulily requires strict adherence to its inventory feed specs; mismatched GTINs or timestamps trigger rejections.
Zulily’s fulfillment window is tight; ASNs must arrive before shipment to avoid non-compliance penalties.
Manual keying of 850s into your ERP delays processing and increases risk of line-item errors.
