AS400 EDI Management and Support Services
Addition of New Trading Partners
We facilitate the seamless on-boarding of new trading partners, ensuring the smooth integration into your existing EDI infrastructure. Our experts are capable of handling most if not all technical aspects involved, allowing you to focus on growing your business relationships.
Addition of New EDI Transactions
Expand your EDI capabilities by adding new transaction types with your current trading partners. Whether the requirements involve the implementation of purchase orders, invoices, advanced shipping notices (ASNs), or any other transactions, we can assist with ensuring accurate setup and compliance with your trading partner’s standards.
Transaction Set Mapping
Our team excels in transaction set mapping, translating data formats between various EDI standards (such as ANSI X12, EDIFACT, cXML, etc.), with expertise leveraging a variety of different EDI mapping utilities available (such as TrustedLink TLi, TLw, IBM/Gentran, Future3, etc.) We are also capable of supporting transaction integration and automation when standard EDI may not be an option.
Traditional EDI Support Services
Our team delivers daily monitoring services, intended to identify and stay ahead of any potential transaction errors or rejections, many of which are time sensitive depending on the nature of the business at hand. We work closely with your users and trading partners when necessary to address the underlying issues, and ensure permanent resolutions are considered where appropriate, making the added effort to minimize the likelihood of that issue arising again in the future.
Labeling and Barcoding Compliance
Often times, in addition to core EDI mapping and testing, whether it is for new EDI transactions with existing trading partners, or as a part of new trading partner onboarding process, there are specific product/package/shipment labeling and barcoding requirements that need to be met. Our team specializes in new label development and integration with the applicable ERP processes to ensure that all of your trading partner requirements are met.
Initial Testing and Ongoing Live Support
Prior to deployment, we work closely and directly with the business contacts and trading partners involved to conduct rigorous testing in order to validate EDI transactions and ensure compliance with your trading partners' requirements. Our live support team is available to address any issues promptly, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted EDI operations.
Non-Traditional EDI Services
Our team is also capable of delivering a wide variety of custom solutions when needed, whether it be new EDI transactions unsupported by your current ERP, or new integration technology including the leveraging of APIs or Web Services, exchanging cXML, JSON, CSVs, etc. in place of the traditional EDI data formats commonly supported today. If the data can be made available to the system, we can integrate and automate just about anything.
