EDI

Electronic Data Interchange with Australian retailers, built directly into your ERP.

How it works

If you supply to major Australian retailers you will be required to exchange purchase orders, invoices, and advance shipping notices electronically via EDI. We can handle the full process of getting you connected, from implementation of retailer specific message formats, to completing the accreditation process with each trading partner, while offering cost effective options for ongoing connectivity.

Because EDI is built into the open-source ERP implementations we support, you get a direct connection between your system and your trading partners: no manual rekeying of orders, ASNs and invoices between your systems and retailer web portals; and no middleman charging hefty recurring fees simply for translating documents from one electronic format to another.

Trading partners

We've completed EDI mapping and accreditation for businesses supplying to retailers including:

Bunnings

Coles

Woolworths

Aldi

Each retailer has their own message specifications and accreditation requirements. If your trading partner isn't listed above, that's not a issue; we can handle mapping and accreditation to additional trading partners as regular implementation work.

Message exchange

For trading partners that accept direct connections, your system can exchange documents over SFTP without a VAN in between. Some trading partners require the use of a Value Added Network (VAN) to exchange messages; we can work with the VAN you choose or provision connectivity for you.

Direct SFTP

Where a trading partner accepts direct delivery, your ERP exchanges documents over SFTP with no ongoing VAN costs.

Value Added Network

For trading partners that require a VAN, we can provision access as part of your implementation.
