Your trading partners don’t all speak the same language

Walmart wants EDI. Your new cloud supplier uses REST APIs. Your bank requires ACH file formats. Your ERP speaks its own dialect. Foundational translates all of it — in real time, automatically, without your team lifting a finger.

Our proprietary integration engine has processed millions of business transactions across every major industry. It’s purpose-built to handle the edge cases, exceptions, and trading-partner quirks that generic platforms miss.

Explore the Platform

B2B integration is complex. Managing it in-house is costly.

Point-to-point integrations break. Trading partner mandates change. ERP upgrades break EDI service connections and API mappings. And your team gets pulled away from real work to manage supply chain disruptions instead of growing the business.

  • ⚠️
    Compliance chargebacks cost thousands per incident
    Retailers and large buyers fine suppliers for late, missing, or malformed EDI and API transactions. A managed service eliminates these penalties entirely.
  • ⚠️
    Every new partner requires custom integration work
    Without expertise, onboarding a single new trading partner can take months of IT time — time better spent on your core business.
  • ⚠️
    ERP upgrades break your integrations
    Cloud ERP migrations and version upgrades routinely break EDI and API connections, causing costly business disruption. We proactively manage this.
  • Foundational handles all of it — fully managed
    We monitor, maintain, and evolve your integrations 24/7. When something changes — on your end or your partner’s — our team acts before it becomes your problem.

What our customers say

Frequently asked questions about B2B integration

What is a B2B integration platform?
A B2B integration platform connects your business systems to trading partner systems through multiple protocols — EDI, APIs, flat files, and cloud ERP connectors — so data flows automatically without manual rekeying or custom point-to-point development.
Does Foundational support API integration as well as EDI?
Yes. Foundational’s platform supports traditional EDI (ANSI X12, EDIFACT), REST and SOAP API integration, flat-file formats (CSV, XML, JSON), and direct cloud ERP connectors for SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and others.
How quickly can you onboard a new trading partner?
Foundational is recognized for fast turnaround times on trading partner onboarding. Most new connections go live within days to a few weeks — significantly faster than in-house implementations.
Can you integrate with our ERP system?
Yes. We integrate with all major ERP platforms including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Epicor, and many others — handling translation between your ERP’s data model and any external format.
What happens when a trading partner changes their requirements?
Our team monitors trading partner specification changes proactively. When a partner updates their EDI specs, API schemas, or routing requirements, we handle the updates — typically before the change-over deadline, without any disruption to your business.
How does outsourcing compare to in-house integration costs?
Outsourcing to Foundational typically costs significantly less than hiring, training, and retaining in-house integration staff — while eliminating compliance chargeback risk and software licensing fees. Use our ROI Calculator to run the numbers for your business.
