EDIBridge

EDIBridge is a cloud-based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) platform designed specifically for small and growing suppliers who need to meet retail compliance requirements. If you are a supplier trying to work with major retailers like Walmart, Target, Home Depot, or Kroger, you have likely faced a daunting challenge: these retailers require you to send and receive business documents in a specific electronic format, but traditional EDI solutions are expensive, complex, and often require a dedicated IT team to manage. EDIBridge solves this problem by providing a browser-based workspace where you can connect with your trading partners, map your business data into EDI documents, send and receive transactions, and track all your activity in one place. The platform includes visual drag-and-drop field mapping, AI-assisted mapping suggestions, pre-built retail packages, and support for both SFTP and AS2 delivery methods. What truly sets EDIBridge apart is its focus on simplicity and affordability. You can get started with the Walmart Supplier Package and be live in as little as 15 minutes, without any EDI expertise. The platform starts at just $49 per month with no per-transaction fees, saving you thousands of dollars per year compared to competitors like SPS Commerce and TrueCommerce. EDIBridge is for any supplier who wants to stop paying enterprise software costs and start trading with retailers on their own terms.

Pre-Built Retail Packages

EDIBridge offers pre-configured retail packages that replace weeks of manual setup. The Walmart Supplier Package includes a 6-step wizard that installs everything you need: SFTP connection, EDI specification, an AI-generated field map proposal, validation rules, and test data. You can be fully configured and compliant in about 15 minutes. For other retailers, you can use the built-in retail package configuration or upload your own retailer implementation guide to support additional trading partners.

AI Mapping Engine

The AI Mapping Engine takes the hardest part of EDI setup and makes it simple. You start by uploading your business data, such as a CSV or Excel file containing your orders or shipments. The AI then analyzes your data and automatically proposes matches between your columns and the required EDI fields. You simply review the suggestions, drag and drop any corrections you want to make, and accept the final map. No EDI expertise is needed, and the entire process is guided with clear visual feedback.

Transaction History and Activity Tracking

Every EDI document you send or receive is recorded in your transaction history. You can see purchase orders, acknowledgments, advance ship notices, invoices, purchase order changes, and functional acknowledgments all in one timeline view. The platform also shows a live activity feed of real transactions happening across all suppliers, so you can see what a compliant workflow looks like. This feature helps you stay organized and ensures you never miss an important document from your trading partners.

Chargeback Alerts and Compliance Validation

Chargebacks from retailers can cost suppliers thousands of dollars in fines for non-compliant transactions. EDIBridge includes built-in chargeback alerts that flag transactions likely to result in a chargeback before you send them. The platform validates your data against retailer requirements and warns you about potential issues. This proactive approach helps you avoid costly retailer fines and maintain a clean compliance record with all your trading partners.

Getting Compliant with Walmart Quickly

If you are a new supplier trying to work with Walmart, you need to send EDI 850 Purchase Orders, 856 Advance Ship Notices, 810 Invoices, and 997 Functional Acknowledgments. EDIBridge's Walmart Supplier Package gets you live in 15 minutes with a pre-built wizard that handles SFTP connection, EDI spec configuration, AI field mapping, validation rules, and test data. You can start receiving purchase orders and sending compliant ASNs on your first day.

Replacing an Expensive EDI Provider

Many small suppliers pay $500 to $1,000 per month to SPS Commerce or TrueCommerce, plus additional per-transaction fees that add up quickly. EDIBridge offers flat-rate pricing starting at $49 per month with no per-transaction fees. A supplier currently paying $800 per month can save over $9,000 per year by switching to EDIBridge. The migration is straightforward because you bring your existing retailer specs and map them using the AI-assisted tools.

Connecting with Multiple Retailers

If you supply products to Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Kroger, you need separate EDI configurations for each retailer. EDIBridge supports pre-built packages for Walmart and Target, and you can upload your own retailer implementation guide for any other retailer. Each trading partner gets its own test and production mode, so you can validate your documents before going live. The platform handles all document types including 850, 856, 810, 997, and purchase order changes.

Managing EDI Without an IT Department

Small businesses rarely have a dedicated IT person who understands EDI. EDIBridge is designed for non-technical users. The drag-and-drop field mapping lets you visually connect your business data to EDI fields without writing any code. The AI proposes matches automatically, and the step-by-step wizards guide you through each setup task. If you get stuck, the platform provides clear instructions and support to help you complete your configuration.

How long does it take to set up EDIBridge?

The Walmart Supplier Package can be set up in about 15 minutes using the 6-step wizard. For other retailers, setup typically takes a few hours depending on the complexity of your data and the retailer's requirements. The AI Mapping Engine significantly reduces setup time by automatically proposing field matches. Most suppliers are sending their first compliant transaction within their first day of signing up.

What retailers does EDIBridge work with?

EDIBridge works with Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Kroger, Costco, Amazon, and any other retailer that provides you with an EDI implementation guide. The platform includes pre-built packages for Walmart and Target. For other retailers, you can upload their spec and use the AI-assisted mapping tools to configure your connection. EDIBridge supports all common EDI document types including 850, 856, 810, 997, and purchase order changes.

How much does EDIBridge cost compared to competitors?

The flat-rate pricing means you always know what you will pay, with no surprise charges on your invoice.
