Frequently Asked Questions

What EDI standards do you support?
We support all major EDI standards including ANSI X12 (North America), EDIFACT (Europe/International), TRADACOMS (UK retail), and EANCOM. We also handle proprietary formats required by specific trading partners.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. We integrate with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Sage, Infor, and others. We can work with file-based, API, or database integration methods.
How long does partner onboarding take?
Simple partner onboarding with standard documents takes 1-2 weeks. Complex partners with custom requirements or extensive testing may take 4-6 weeks. After initial setup, we can automate onboarding for faster future additions.
What about real-time integration vs batch EDI?
We support both. Traditional EDI often runs in batches (hourly, daily), while modern APIs enable real-time integration. Our hybrid approach lets you use the right method for each partner and use case.
How do you handle EDI errors and chargebacks?
Our platform includes validation rules, exception handling, and automated notifications. We help you identify error patterns, fix root causes, and implement compliance rules to reduce chargebacks by 80% or more.
Do you offer managed EDI services?
Yes. Beyond implementation, we offer managed EDI services including 24/7 monitoring, partner support, document mapping updates, and ongoing optimization as your trading partner network evolves.
