In-house Automated Vendor Testing


EDI Teams: Accelerate Your EDI Compliance Testing

Designed by our team of Web EDI experts, our Automated Vendor Testing raises the bar on accuracy and efficiency in managing the in-house compliance testing of your vendors. Automated Vendor Testing eliminates the manual collection and management of EDI testing documents across buyers, accounts payable, warehouse management and IT, and significantly reduces time spent emailing your vendors. Using a live testing environment, Automated Vendor Testing is available 24/7 and tests each EDI document. Should a document fail compliance the vendor is notified real-time of the failure and the cause of the failure – all without interacting with your EDI team. Automated Vendor Testing virtually eliminates paper purchase orders and invoices, and significantly reduces costs of managing the EDI compliance process all while dramatically improving the vendor and your experience.

... and Cut The Number of Vendor Communications by 20 Fold!

Through the use of its exclusive rules-based form system, Automated Vendor Testing guides your vendors through a step-by-step process and nearly eliminates calls and emails to your in-house enablement team. Triple-redundancy logic crosschecks final documents against original purchase orders, previous documents, and applicable business rules. The testing accuracy is greatly improved, while reducing your vendors' chargeback exposure and compliance costs. The system is flexible and powerful enough to support almost any business process required for retailers, business service providers, wholesalers, distributors, and any other business with paperless purchase order and e-invoicing needs.
