Auto parts and aftermarket suppliers work against a clock most other suppliers don't: 24-hour PO acknowledgment windows, VMI and POS data feeding retailer demand planning, and a routing guide that can change at any one of hundreds of distribution centers.
BOLD VAN handles EDI compliance, acknowledgment timing, and inventory data accuracy so your team isn't manually racing the clock on every PO.
Major retailers hold suppliers to strict PO acknowledgment windows. We help your 855s move fast enough to protect your compliance scorecard.
Hundreds of distribution centers, each with its own routing guide and label rules. We manage all of them under one agreement.
Inventory and product activity feeds validated so vendor-managed inventory and replenishment programs run on clean data.
Core charges and remanufactured-part returns add another layer of paperwork. We help keep that documentation accurate and matched to every shipment.
Whether you have an internal EDI team or need everything handled end-to-end, we have a setup that fits.
We manage AS2/SFTP connectivity and VAN routing to your retail trading partners. You handle internal file management while paying a flat per-partner rate instead of per-message fees.
Best for: suppliers with internal EDI mapping who need reliable, cost-effective data exchange with multiple retailers.
We map EDI documents into and out of your ERP, WMS, or 3PL — including VMI, POS, and core return data — and maintain those maps as AutoZone, O'Reilly, or any other retailer changes their specs. No internal mapping software required.
Best for: suppliers that want retail EDI fully off their plate, including ongoing maintenance as compliance programs evolve.
View POs, acknowledge orders within the compliance window, build shipments, and generate ASNs and invoices — all from one browser-based interface, with no EDI software to install.
Best for: smaller suppliers who need to meet retailer requirements quickly without a dedicated EDI system.
A 15-minute call where we look at your current provider costs, chargeback history, and acknowledgment-window performance — then show you what a move to BOLD VAN would look like. No obligation.
Retailers update routing guides and acknowledgment windows across their DC networks constantly. We monitor every retailer in your network and update your maps proactively, not after a scorecard hit.
Per-message VAN pricing turns your busiest shipping periods into your biggest EDI bill. Our flat per-trading-partner rate means order volume never changes what you pay.
We handle setup, connectivity, mapping, and compliance testing directly with each retailer's EDI team. Your ops team doesn't need to manage the onboarding process.
AutoZone, O'Reilly, NAPA, and Advance Auto Parts each run their own DC network and compliance ecosystem. We manage all of them under a single BOLD VAN agreement.
No offshore ticket queues. Our EDI team understands acknowledgment-window pressure and the chargeback patterns specific to auto parts, and can resolve issues before they affect your scorecard.
From purchase orders and ASNs to VMI and POS feeds — we support every EDI transaction type your retail partners require, with core return and warranty data carried correctly alongside every shipment.
We connect using any communications protocol, including direct API access — there is never an extra charge for connectivity to any trading partner, regardless of how many accounts you manage.
Most suppliers go live with a new retail partner in 14–21 days from the first call. Here's exactly how it works.
