What is EDI? It’s an abbreviation for “Electronic Data Interchange”

EDI (“Electronic Data Interchange”) documents are used to pass electronic information from one company’s business system on to another while using a single, standardized format that both systems can interpret. EDI is the process of transmitting the data and the translation of that data into a more-standardized format. EDI empowers brands to share data electronically as opposed to paper document exchange and is therefore an important automation element for most business processes.

Trusted EDI Experts

With over 16 years of established relationships with hundreds of national & international brands, our team is deeply familiar with each of the supply chain specifications (and hurdles) that your brand faces. We know you need detailed, accurate reporting every morning and you can’t dedicate expensive payroll to make it happen.

You need your analysts to analyze retail sale and inventory, not do research on EDI 852 and value-added networks (VAN) and VICS 4030 vs VICS 4010 – we get it. We’ve been dealing with EDI for over 15 years, so we know all the technical jargon, we know who to call, we know what’s in each EDI document, and we can make it all work seamlessly to create beautiful sales and inventory reports for your team.

Kohl's EDI / Supplier Portal Format Chart

Not every retailer is the same when it comes to EDI and/or Supplier Portal Data support. In fact, while EDI is fairly standard, the way that each retailer uses it varies a lot. One retailer has dollars sold in the EDI 852, another does not. Some retailers have a price segment in their EDI 852 document, while others do not. What are you supposed to do with that? Why does this retailer send inventory on hand in a separate EDI document and sales in another EDI document? Don’t worry! Here’s an easy Kohls EDI comparison chart…
