Streamlining EDI compliance with automation
The fastest way to stay EDI-compliant as you grow is to remove the manual steps. Automation turns compliance from a daily chore into something that simply happens in the background.
Where manual EDI breaks down
Manual EDI relies on people remembering to acknowledge orders, send ASNs on time, and reconcile invoices. That works at five orders a day and falls apart at five hundred. Every manual step is a place for a chargeback to start.
What to automate first
Automate the documents tied to fulfillment events:
- Auto-acknowledge purchase orders (855/997).
- Auto-generate ASNs (856) from the shipment.
- Auto-generate invoices (810) from the order and shipment.
- Continuously monitor acknowledgements and alert on exceptions.
The result
When orders flow from the retailer into your systems and compliance messages flow back out automatically, your team ships orders the way they always have — and compliance takes care of itself. That’s exactly how our customer SomniFix runs EDI today.
