Apparel and footwear brands selling into major retailers face some of the most complex EDI compliance requirements in retail — and the chargeback penalties for getting it wrong are steep.
BOLD VAN handles multi-retailer EDI compliance, ASN monitoring, and routing guide updates so your team can stay focused on the brand, not the back office.
Proactive ASN monitoring and retailer-specific alerts catch errors before they become deductions. We track routing guide changes so your team doesn't have to.
Nordstrom, Macy's, TJX, Kohl's, Target — each with its own vendor guide, label spec, and routing workflow. We manage compliance across all of them under one agreement.
Fixed per-trading-partner pricing means your Q4 EDI bill doesn't spike with order volume. Know your exact cost every month, regardless of how many POs flow through.
Landing a new wholesale account is exciting — waiting weeks to go live is not. We get new retail connections up and compliant in 2–3 weeks so you can start shipping.
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: brands 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 — and maintain those maps when Nordstrom, Macy's, or any other retailer changes their specs. No internal mapping software required.
Best for: brands that want retail EDI fully off their plate, including ongoing maintenance as routing guides evolve.
View POs, acknowledge orders, build shipments, print GS1-128 compliant labels, and generate ASNs and invoices — all from one browser-based interface, with no EDI software to install.
Best for: emerging brands or small wholesale teams that 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 retailer mix — then show you what a move to BOLD VAN would look like. No obligation.
Retailers update their vendor compliance guides constantly. We monitor every retailer in your network and update your maps proactively — not after a chargeback tells you something broke.
Per-message VAN pricing turns your busiest season 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.
Nordstrom, Macy's, TJX, Dick's Sporting Goods — each has its own compliance ecosystem. We manage all of them under a single BOLD VAN agreement at one predictable monthly cost.
No offshore ticket queues. Our EDI team has worked with apparel and footwear brands across major retail programs and can resolve issues before they affect your scorecard.
From purchase orders and ASNs to routing requests and inventory updates — we support every EDI transaction type your retail accounts require.
