Sell into the
big retailers'
EDI systems.
Trade electronically with the major retailers through your EDI broker — purchase orders flow in as orders, and acknowledgements, ASNs, invoices and inventory advice flow back out. You run the trade from your admin without ever touching raw X12 or EDIFACT. Available on the Network tier.
The order-to-invoice cycle, handled natively.
A retailer sends you a purchase order; you owe them an acknowledgement, a ship notice, an invoice and a stock position back. The platform maps each one to the work you already do, so an inbound order becomes a real order and the outbound documents are generated from it — not retyped into a separate EDI tool.
Trade through your broker, not the wire format.
EDI has its own dialects — X12 segments, EDIFACT envelopes, partner-by-partner quirks. Your broker carries the raw documents; the platform speaks to the broker. You work in orders, despatches and invoices, exactly as you do for any other channel, and the translation happens underneath.
- Live today through the MessageXchange broker
- Other brokers — Crossfire, B2BE, SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce — connected on request
- You never hand-edit a raw X12 or EDIFACT document
- Inbound orders land in the same admin as the rest of your trade
Signed, validated and audited end to end.
Trading with a major retailer is a contract, and EDI is the paperwork. The platform treats it that way — verifying where each document came from, checking it against the partner's rules before it counts, ignoring redelivered duplicates, and keeping a permanent record of everything exchanged.
- HMAC-signed webhooks verify each inbound document's origin
- Partner-specific compliance validation against each retailer's rules
- Idempotent deduplication — a redelivered message is recognised, not reprocessed
- Append-only audit log built to stand as the legal trading record
A supplier-side EDI, not a bolt-on.
For a retail supplier, EDI is the price of getting onto the shelf — and usually a separate system to babysit. Here it lives inside the platform you already trade from, so the order a retailer sends and the documents you owe back share one catalogue, one audit trail and one place to look.
One catalogue, one order book
An inbound 850 becomes an order against the same products and stock as the rest of your trade — no separate EDI catalogue to keep in step.
Documents generated, not retyped
Acknowledgement, ASN, invoice and inventory advice are built from the order itself, so the outbound paperwork stays consistent with what you actually shipped.
Defensible by design
Signed origins, partner-specific validation and an append-only log mean a chargeback or compliance query is a lookup, not a reconstruction.
