HOW DOES ORDERFUL NETWORK ENABLE QUICK ONBOARDING?
Orderful eliminates the 1:1 integration problem through our growing network of connected trading partners. A partner already connected to the Orderful Network has:
1. Pre-codified implementation guidelines
Guidelines of the EDI trading partner already modeled and codified on Orderful. These are ready to be used for your real-time EDI data validation.
2. Pre-configured communication channels
Choice of data format and communication channel of EDI trading partner already configured (e.g. JSON ,X12, or EDIFACT over REST, (S)FTP, AS2, etc.)
3. Pre-established Testing Requirements, if any
Testing scenarios and test data of the EDI trading partner is readily made available on Orderful Cloud EDI Platform for all our customers.
All these capabilities significantly reduce the partner onboarding & testing time.

If your EDI trading partner is not already on the Orderful network, we onboard them and handle all the trading partner communication. Every new trading partner of yours that we onboard expands our network and we’re growing everyday by providing this for free, unlike any other competitors.
