Expert guidance for your integration strategy
Not every problem needs a managed service. Sometimes you need experienced advisors to assess your current setup, design a better architecture, or guide a complex ERP migration. That’s what our consulting practice delivers.
Where we add the most value
Our consultants bring decades of real-world integration experience — not just theoretical knowledge. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
Integration Architecture
Design a B2B integration framework that scales with your business. We assess your current state, identify gaps, and architect a solution that handles your trading partners, data flows, and ERP requirements — now and in the future.
ERP Migration Support
Moving to a new ERP is one of the highest-risk moments for your EDI program. We ensure your integration layer survives the transition — remapping transactions, testing partner connections, and keeping your supply chain running through cutover.
EDI Assessment & Audit
Not sure if your current EDI setup is working as well as it should? Our assessment identifies inefficiencies, compliance gaps, outdated mappings, and opportunities to automate processes you’re still handling manually.
Trading Partner Strategy
Expanding your trading partner network — or getting mandate-compliant with a major retailer or customer? We help you prioritize, plan, and execute partner onboarding efficiently, including AS2 setup, certification, and testing.
Compliance & Standards
ANSI X12, EDIFACT, GS1, retailer-specific requirements — the standards landscape is complex. Our team keeps you current and compliant, whether you’re meeting a new retailer mandate or responding to a spec change.
API & Cloud Integration
Modern supply chains mix EDI with REST APIs and cloud ERP connectors. We design and implement hybrid integration architectures that connect legacy EDI infrastructure with modern API-based systems.
Consulting that leads to outcomes, not reports
Too many consultants deliver recommendations and disappear. Foundational’s consulting practice is backed by a managed service team — which means our recommendations are grounded in what actually works in production, and we can implement them.
- Assess: Deep-dive into your current EDI setup, partner relationships, and pain points.
- Design: Architect the right solution — whether that’s optimization, migration support, or a new integration framework.
- Implement: Execute the work with our technical team, not a handoff to someone unfamiliar with your environment.
- Operate: Transition to ongoing managed service if that’s the right fit — or leave you with a better-running system.
