EDI With Trading Partners: Streamline Your B2B Fulfilment

EDI with Trading Partners: Beyond the Transaction

For wholesalers, retailers, and major brands, success relies on seamless collaboration. Manually entering purchase orders, tracking deliveries, and sending invoices is not just slow; it’s a major source of errors. A successful trading partnership depends on a reliable, automated flow of information. This is where EDI with Trading Partners becomes a mission-critical part of your business. Our platform is a comprehensive solution that handles both the digital handshake and the physical fulfilment.

We provide the tools to automate every step. Our solution ensures you meet every compliance requirement from your largest partners.

The Power of Automated Communication

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the language of modern B2B trade. It allows businesses to automatically exchange crucial documents like purchase orders, confirmations, and invoices. This saves an immense amount of time. It eliminates the need for manual data entry. Furthermore, it drastically reduces the risk of human error, which can lead to costly chargebacks or disputes.

We have a proven track record of successful integrations with major UK retailers. Our platform has seamlessly connected with the likes of Boots, Wilko, Sainsbury’s, Pets at Home, and ASDA. We also have robust experience with Amazon Vendor Central. Each trading partner has different EDI formats and compliance rules. Our team is fully aware of these specific requirements. We adhere to all of them during the implementation phase. We even work with your trading partner’s EDI team to go through their QA process. This ensures all communications are compliant before going live. The risk of an EDI transaction going wrong is very minimal. Any failures are immediately flagged and resolved by our dedicated support team.

From EDI Order to Compliant Despatch

EDI orders are fundamentally different from standard e-commerce orders. They are typically in bulk, with products ordered in cases rather than single units. Our platform is built to handle this distinction. We receive the order via EDI. We then facilitate the entire Pick, Pack, and Ship process on the warehouse floor. This process is designed for B2B efficiency.

Compliance is essential with B2B partners. An incorrect shipment can lead to costly fines. Our system automates the creation of all required documentation. It can automatically generate Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs). An SSCC is a unique identifier for a package, pallet, or container. It contains all the necessary information about the contents. Automating this process ensures every item is accounted for. It prevents errors in logistics and helps the recipient know exactly what they are receiving. During the pick, the system records every item placed into an SSCC. This data is then used to automatically generate an Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) to inform the trading partner about the upcoming delivery. This process is a huge time-saver. It also ensures 100% accuracy.
