EDI Integration That Fits Your Systems
Your trading partners send purchase orders and expect advance ship notices and invoices back in EDI. We connect those X12 documents directly to your ERP or database, so orders flow in and paperwork flows out without retyping.
Free ConsultationThe problem
EDI handled by hand
Many smaller distributors and manufacturers receive EDI through a web portal, then print it and key it into their own system. Ship notices and invoices are keyed back out the same way. It is slow, error-prone, and a mistake can mean a chargeback from a large customer.
Our approach
Direct, validated integration
We read and write X12 documents directly and map them to your own system, whether that is Odoo, a SQL Server application, or custom software. Incoming orders are validated against your customers, items, and prices before they post. Outgoing ship notices and invoices are generated from what actually shipped.
We have built EDI parsers that run inside SQL Server, so the integration lives right next to your data.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we still need a VAN or EDI provider?
Often your existing VAN or AS2 connection stays in place for transport. We handle the part that matters to your business: getting the data into and out of your own system correctly.
Which systems can you connect EDI to?
Odoo, SQL Server based applications, and most systems with a database, API, or import format.
Can you add a new trading partner later?
Yes. Once the integration exists, adding a partner is mostly a matter of mapping their specific requirements.
