Wholesale & Distribution EDI is the automated, structured exchange of critical procurement and fulfillment documents—such as Purchase Orders (850), Invoices (810), and Advance Ship Notices (856)—between distributors, suppliers, and retailers. It standardizes inventory visibility via Inventory Advice (846) and eliminates manual data entry, accelerating order-to-cash cycles and ensuring real-time accuracy across multi-tier supply networks.
Automate EDI mapping for retailer-specific 850 and 856 document requirements to avoid chargebacks.
Eradicate manual entry errors with real-time 810 invoice and 846 inventory sync across warehouses.
Maintain 24/7 connectivity via AS2, SFTP, or VAN for seamless document transmission.
