EDI done right — without the overhead
Most companies either struggle to staff EDI in-house or rely on outdated software that can’t keep pace with partner requirements. Foundational eliminates both problems.
In-house EDI
- Expensive specialized staff to recruit & retain
- Software licenses + infrastructure costs
- Slow trading partner onboarding (weeks to months)
- You manage every partner spec change
- Single point of failure when staff leave
Foundational Managed
- Flat, predictable monthly cost
- Zero software — fully cloud-delivered
- New partners live in days, not months
- We track and apply all spec changes proactively
- Team of experts, not one person
See how much you could save by outsourcing EDI to Foundational.

“Foundational has proven to be a valuable partner. Their understanding of how EDI is used in the metals processing industry has enabled us to enjoy the benefits of e-business across our organization. Inventory turns have improved as a result of implementing vendor managed inventory; our receiving process is efficient with minimal errors because we know what is coming before the shipment is received; and many orders are now received via EDI so the order entry process requires minimal human intervention.”
