Trading Partner Onboarding

New retail account.
Live in 10 days.

You landed a new retail account. Now you need EDI set up before they pull the purchase order. We handle the compliance spec, the connection setup, the test transactions, and the partner sign-off.

What's included

Compliance spec review

We read the retailer's EDI requirements and translate them into an implementation checklist — so nothing gets missed.

Document mapping

850 Purchase Orders, 856 ASN, 810 Invoices, 997 Acknowledgements, and any other doc types the partner requires.

AS2 or SFTP connection setup

New endpoint configuration, certificate exchange, and connectivity testing with the partner.

Test transaction suite

We run the full test cycle the retailer requires and get written sign-off from their EDI team.

Production cutover

Coordinated go-live with the partner. We stay available through the first live transaction.

Handoff documentation

Connection details, document specs, and a runbook for your team.

Who this is for

Existing EDIBridge or TebcoForge customers

You migrated off your VAN and are already live. Now you've added a new retail account and need the new partner onboarded into your existing setup.

Suppliers adding their first big-box account

You have EDI running but the new partner — Walmart, Target, Kroger — has a compliance spec you haven't dealt with before. We've done it before. We handle it.

Suppliers on any EDI platform

You don't have to be on EDIBridge. If you're already using your own AS2 or SFTP setup, we can add the new partner into it.

Companies under a deadline

10 days is the standard timeline. If the retailer is pushing you to go live faster, tell us on the discovery call — we'll tell you honestly whether it's achievable.

Supported retailers and partners

We've worked with the compliance specs for all major US retailers. If a partner supports AS2 or SFTP, we can onboard them.
