Where our EDI consulting adds 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 Our assessment identifies inefficiencies, compliance gaps, outdated mappings, and opportunities to automate processes you’re still handling manually.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.

EDI consulting that leads to outcomes, not reports

Too many consultants deliver recommendations and disappear. Foundational’s EDI 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.

Common questions about EDI consulting

What does an EDI consultant do?
An EDI consultant looks at how your trading partner connections, maps, and ERP integration are set up today, then designs and, where needed, builds improvements. That can mean auditing an existing setup, planning a new partner rollout, supporting an ERP migration, or getting compliant with a retailer or customer mandate.
When do we need EDI consulting instead of a managed service?
Consulting fits a defined problem: an assessment, a migration, a new architecture, or a compliance gap. A managed service fits when you want someone to run EDI for you day to day. Our consulting process includes the option to move into ongoing managed service afterward, or to leave you with a better-running system if that is the right outcome.
What does an EDI assessment and audit cover?
We review your current EDI setup, your trading partner relationships, and your pain points. The goal is to find inefficiencies, compliance gaps, outdated mappings, and processes you are still handling manually that could be automated.
Can you help with an ERP migration without moving EDI to a managed service?
Yes. A new ERP is one of the highest-risk moments for an EDI program. Our migration support covers remapping transactions, testing partner connections, and keeping your supply chain running through cutover. If you are early in an EDI program, the three stages of EDI implementation can help you see where you stand.
Do you consult on cloud and API integration, or only traditional EDI?
Both. Many supply chains now mix EDI with REST APIs and cloud ERP connectors. We design and implement hybrid architectures that connect legacy EDI infrastructure with modern API-based systems, so the older and newer pieces work together.
Which industries and ERPs do your consultants work with?
Our experience covers steel, metals, and industrial supply chains, retail compliance for Walmart, Target, Amazon, and other major retailers, and logistics and 3PL integrations including carrier and warehouse management systems. On the ERP side, that includes SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, NetSuite, and Epicor.
