Fulfillment for Businesses of All Sizes

EDI Compliance and Fulfillment Services

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a combination of systems and processes that enable you to use a standard electronic format for communicating and exchanging documents and transactions with vendors and retail partners. EDI has been proven to be the fastest, most-secure mechanism for exchanging transactional data between organizations throughout the globe.

Many big-box retailers require their suppliers to communicate via EDI for both bulk wholesale shipments and drop shipments sent directly to consumers. EDI compliance and order processing can be quite cumbersome, complex, and costly to manage in-house. That’s why Coast to Coast Fulfillment will manage the entire process, from start to finish, on your behalf, ensuring your brand always remains in EDI compliance.

  • Achieve Real-Time Accuracy and Eliminate Manual Errors

Say goodbye to delays and manual errors, and always maintain your EDI compliance!

Since order information does not have to be manually entered, human errors are virtually eliminated. Our EDI order processing system is always on —24/7 — to instantly acknowledge purchase orders (EDI 855) and to keep you in instant communication with your trading partners.

  • Improve Order Compliance, Efficiency, and Speed

Most major retail chain stores require suppliers to communicate with EDI protocols for both bulk wholesale shipments and for orders drop shipped to consumers. Coast to Coast Fulfillment has over 20 years of EDI experience as a 3PL, warehousing merchandise and processing orders, handling all the picking, packaging, labeling, scheduling, and shipping details according to the EDI specifications of retail chain stores.
