What ActionEDI does

Four capabilities. One platform. No add-on fees.

Send and receive EDI documents

A cloud-based portal for managing purchase orders, invoices, advance ship notices, and acknowledgments. View, track, and process documents without installing software or managing servers.

Supports X12 document types including 850 (Purchase Orders), 810 (Invoices), 856 (Advance Ship Notices), and 855 (Acknowledgments). Automated validation catches errors before documents are sent. Real-time status tracking so your team always knows where an order stands.

Get new partners live in weeks, not months

We handle the mapping, testing, and certification with your trading partners. Your team doesn't need to learn X12 or understand EDI protocols. We manage the technical complexity.

Typical onboarding takes 2–4 weeks per trading partner. We support AS2, SFTP, and API connections depending on partner requirements. For CDW specifically, we offer full API integration for real-time data exchange. Pre-mapped partner specs reduce setup time for common retailers.

Reduce manual steps across order-to-cash

Automate the repetitive work that slows your team down. Email PO extraction, invoice validation, ASN generation, and error notifications that catch problems before they become chargebacks.

Email PO automation extracts purchase orders from email and processes them without manual data entry. Outbound document validation checks against trading partner rules before transmission. Automated error alerts notify your team immediately when something needs attention.

Connect ActionEDI to your existing systems

API integration for custom connections, plus dedicated integrations for NetSuite, Sage 100, and QuickBooks. Your EDI data flows into the tools your team already uses.

NetSuite integration maps retailer purchase orders to sales orders and generates invoices and ship notices from NetSuite records. Sage 100 and QuickBooks integrations sync invoices and purchase orders automatically. REST API for custom integrations with other ERP and WMS systems. We work with your team or your developers to set up the connection that fits your stack.

How ActionEDI works

Three steps to operational EDI.

1

We set up your connections

Tell us who you trade with. We handle the mapping, testing, and certification with each trading partner. You don't need to learn EDI protocols.

2

Documents flow automatically

Purchase orders come in, invoices and ship notices go out. Automated validation catches errors before they reach your trading partners. Your team monitors from a simple dashboard.

3

Your team stays in control

Real-time visibility into every transaction. Error alerts when something needs attention. Support under 1 hour when you need help. Phone during business hours, email and chat around the clock.

Built for lean teams, not enterprise IT departments

ActionEDI is a great fit if:

  • •Your team doesn't have dedicated EDI staff
  • •You trade with US-based retailers or distributors
  • •You need predictable pricing without mid-year per-document bills
  • •You want a real person when you call support
  • •You're switching from a provider that's too expensive, too slow, or too complex

ActionEDI may not be the right fit if:

  • •You need EDIFACT for international trading
  • •You need 24/7 phone support (we offer 24/7 email and chat, phone during business hours)
  • •You need healthcare/HIPAA-specific EDI
  • •Your primary trading partners are outside the US
