For Retailers

Unify suppliers, stores, and fulfillment

Better EDI gives retailers the tools to collaborate with suppliers, maintain accurate inventory, and execute omni-channel promises without manual intervention.

Retail operations made simple

Automate supplier onboarding, drop ship programs, and store replenishment from one modern platform.

Supplier enablement

Give vendors the tools and guardrails needed to send compliant ASNs and labels so stores are not stuck manually fixing shipments.

  • Checks for ASN completeness
  • Retailer-compliant label formats
  • Support for tech-light vendors
  • Fewer manual receiving exceptions

Unified fulfillment

Run store, DC, and drop ship orders through a single flow so expectations stay consistent from purchase order to shipment.

  • One workflow across channels
  • Drop ship program support
  • Cleaner handoffs to carriers
  • Less ad hoc rework

Order-level insight

See what each order entails by vendor and ship-to location, giving teams a clearer view of what is ordered and where it is headed.

  • Orders grouped by vendor
  • Visibility to ship-to locations
  • Support for store and DC flows
  • Context for vendor follow-up

Self-paced vendor onboarding

Invite vendors into an auto-provisioning portal where they can choose how to connect and become compliant on their own schedule.

  • No high-pressure vendor pitches
  • Self-service testing and setup
  • Support for forms, EDI, and APIs
  • Retailer-specific requirements built in

Vendor compliance scorecards

Measure how well vendors align orders, ASNs, shipments, and invoices, with issues routed back to the vendor to correct.

  • Label vs. ASN accuracy
  • Order vs. shipment checks
  • Invoice vs. shipment checks
  • Vendor notifications on mismatches

Retailer control, vendor action

Let retailers define the rules while vendors handle most corrections, giving internal teams visibility without more manual work.

  • Central rules managed by retailer
  • Exceptions pushed to vendors
  • Fewer surprise compliance issues
  • Lower total cost of compliance
