Meet every retail EDI mandate. Without the headaches.

Walmart, Target, Amazon, Kroger — every major retailer has its own EDI requirements. Foundational keeps you compliant with all of them, proactively, so chargebacks become a thing of the past.

What our customers say
“Staying on top of our customers’ e-business requirements while streamlining our own operations is essential. As a result of outsourcing our EDI processing to Foundational we have achieved a higher level of internal integration, saved hours of processing time, and reduced customer chargebacks by as much as 85 percent.”

Retail EDI standard — X12, EDIFACT, retailer-specific

Compliance built in, not bolted on

Retail chargebacks from EDI non-compliance can cost $500–5,000 per incident. The most common causes are late or missing ASNs, incorrect label formats, and outdated transaction maps. Foundational prevents all three.

When a retailer updates their specifications — and they always do — our team applies the changes before your deadline, without you having to monitor portals, read spec sheets, or coordinate with IT.
