EDI

Configuring and testing EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a complex process that goes far beyond just setting up a few connections. Here’s why it’s challenging—and why trusting Cumulus Consulting to handle it can save you time, money, and frustration:

Each trading partner may use different EDI standards and document formats, such as ANSI X12 or EDIFACT, and even within those standards, custom mapping is often required to align with specific business rules. Translating internal data to match these formats accurately is a detailed and error-prone task.

EDI must be tightly connected to core business processes—such as inventory management, order fulfillment, and invoicing—to ensure real-time data flow and operational accuracy. Testing these integrations is critical and often involves multiple rounds of validation with trading partners to ensure compliance and functionality.

Monitoring and error handling are also essential. EDI errors can be difficult to detect and resolve without the right tools and experience, and even small issues can disrupt your supply chain or delay customer shipments.
