EDI For Logistics and Transportation Companies

Logistics Providers can Onboard and Go Live with New EDI Trading Partners in Days

Logistics companies depend on EDI to streamline communication between manufacturers, warehouses, shippers, and carriers. When done right, EDI can improve the efficiency and accuracy of operations, reduce the risk of errors, and ultimately save time and money for logistics companies. However, traditional EDI solutions are complex, take an average 8-12 weeks to implement, and are brittle and error prone once live.

Orderful is EDI done right for logistics providers. Built from the ground up to simplify EDI and meet the unique needs of logistics companies.

Shippers Benefits

Self-Service Onboarding

Shipper’s invite partners to follow a simple process, to integrate, test, and go live against their actual requirements in days with minimal resources needed from their team.

Improved Customer Experience

Respond to customers demands quickly. Onboard and service new customers in days. Provide complete visibility to all transactions and easy to use tools to correct errors in real-time.

New Revenue Opportunities

Customers are using EDI as an advantage to onboard customers they previous could not service. In addition they are tapping into the Orderful Network to find new pre integrated customers and partners.

Carrier Benefits

Onboard in Days

Carriers can quickly integrate via their existing EDI method or via our RESTful JSON API. Once connected, testing and validation is done in real-time on the platform and errors can be fixed instantly by non-developers. No more emailing back and forth.

Simplified Infrastructure

Carriers do not have to build out complex infrastructure to integrate and communicate with shippers. Carriers integrate 1 time and Orderful handles, converting to X12 and communicating the transactions to the shipper and the connection gives them the power to trade with any other shipper as well.

100% Compliance

Carriers can be assured all transactions will meet the requirements set forth by the Shipper. Transactions are validated prior to sending, errors can be easily identified and fixed immediately in the Orderful UI to ensure all transactions are successful.

Most of the other solutions we looked at were just typical on-premise EDI solutions with very little flexibility,” explains David Broering, President of Integrated Logistics, NFI. “Our customers tend to use more than one of our services but want to connect with us through a single EDI channel. We needed a platform that could support that. We wanted to transition our existing EDI relationships to our new TMS with no business interruption and no involvement of our IT staff. Only Orderful empowered our business users to develop rules and build workflows on their own. We also loved the Orderful architecture— specifically, the ability to use a modern API to integrate new trading partners and the ability to test connections before going live.
