EDI Integration Provider Needed for Retail and Wholesale Trading Partners

A wholesale supplier is seeking an EDI integration provider to replace a collection of manual customer-specific processes and improve connectivity with large retail and distribution partners. The business needs a managed approach that can support common purchase-order, acknowledgment, shipping and invoicing transactions while connecting to the company's ERP system. Several trading partners are already active and additional partners are expected during the next year. The buyer prefers a provider that can manage mapping, testing, onboarding and ongoing partner changes instead of requiring extensive internal EDI expertise. Proposals should describe platform architecture, supported protocols, ERP integration methods, onboarding process, pricing and support model. Published by the B2Base based on common business procurement needs.

Required transaction support includes common ANSI X12 purchase orders, acknowledgments, ASNs and invoices, with additional documents added as needed. Provider should support AS2 and other mainstream connectivity methods, trading-partner mapping, test environments, monitoring and error alerts. State implementation fees, per-partner onboarding charges, monthly platform fees and transaction-volume assumptions. Integration options should include API, database, file-based or middleware approaches suitable for a mid-market ERP.
