Better EDI connects your private label suppliers, produce partners, and center store vendors with the same platform you use for retail compliance, so lot data, shipments, and invoices stay aligned from dock to shelf.
Grocery networks move fast, carry more risk than general merchandise, and still need clean purchase orders, ASNs, and invoices. We help you run both sides of that reality in one place.
Capture lot, pack, and date information as suppliers transmit orders, shipments, and adjustments, so receiving and food safety teams can tie inventory back to source without spreadsheet hunts.
The FDA Food Traceability Rule expects a clear trail for foods on the Food Traceability List. Electronic exchange of KDEs and CTEs across your network is easier when partners already flow data through a governed EDI and API layer.
Regional produce houses, national CPG brands, and local bakery suppliers rarely share the same tech stack. Give each a guided path to connect while you keep one set of rules and scorecards.
Strong traceability starts with agreements on identifiers, lot reporting, and shipment granularity. We help you operationalize those expectations in the transactions your vendors already send.
Automate the core retail cycle from purchase order through payment advice so category teams spend less time reconciling exceptions and more time on service levels and margin. Many grocery programs pair the general-purpose retail set with channel-native 875 and 880 documents for CPG pricing and allowances.
When product must come off the shelf, hours matter. Partners that already exchange structured lot and location data can respond faster than those chasing PDFs and phone trees.
Helpful third-party resources on regulation and standards. Better EDI does not provide legal advice; confirm obligations with your counsel and quality teams.
