Automotive OEMs, industrial distributors, and aerospace primes each run their supply chains on EDI — and each has its own requirements. When initial maps are built and teams move on, trading partners update their specs, new partners are onboarded differently, and errors climb quietly until someone notices chargebacks have doubled.
BOLD VAN handles EDI compliance, map maintenance, and ASN accuracy across every trading partner your operation serves — so your team isn't discovering problems through chargebacks or rejected shipments.
The most common EDI failure in manufacturing is map-and-forget — initial maps are built, deployed, and never revisited. We monitor every trading partner for spec changes and update your maps proactively, before chargebacks tell you something drifted.
Automotive OEMs, aerospace prime contractors, and industrial distributors each have their own EDI specs. We manage compliance across all of them under one BOLD VAN agreement.
The 856 ASN must match the physical shipment exactly — correct quantities, packaging hierarchy, SSCC-18 numbers, and GS1-128 labels. A mismatch generates a chargeback. We validate before the truck rolls, not after.
Winning a new OEM or distributor account is a significant opportunity — delays getting EDI live put that relationship at risk. We get new connections up and compliant in 2–3 weeks.
Whether you have an internal EDI team or need everything managed end-to-end across your trading partner network, we have a setup that fits.
We manage AS2/SFTP connectivity and VAN routing to your trading partners. You handle internal file management while paying a flat per-partner rate instead of per-message fees that grow with production volume.
Best for: manufacturers with internal EDI mapping who need reliable, cost-effective data exchange with multiple OEMs, primes, or distributors.
We map EDI documents into and out of your ERP or WMS — and maintain those maps as OEMs, prime contractors, or distributors change their specs. No internal mapping software required.
Best for: manufacturers who want trading partner EDI fully off their plate, including ongoing maintenance as customer requirements 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: smaller manufacturers or job shops that need to meet a customer's EDI requirements quickly without a dedicated EDI system.
A 15-minute call where we look at your current provider costs, chargeback history, and trading partner mix — then show you what a move to BOLD VAN would look like. No obligation.
Trading partners update their EDI specs. Engineering changes trigger new part numbers, revised packaging, and updated barcodes. If your maps don't reflect those changes immediately, shipments get rejected. We monitor every trading partner and update your maps proactively.
Per-message VAN pricing means your EDI cost grows every time production ramps up. Our flat per-trading-partner rate means higher order volumes never change what you pay.
We handle setup, connectivity, mapping, and compliance testing directly with each OEM, prime, or distributor's EDI team. Your ops and IT teams don't need to manage the onboarding process.
Every OEM, prime contractor, and distributor has its own EDI 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 understands cumulative quantity management, planning schedule complexity, and the chargeback patterns specific to automotive, industrial, and aerospace supply chains.
From purchase orders and planning schedules to ship notices and invoices — we support the full range of EDI transaction types used in automotive, industrial, and aerospace supply chains, configured correctly for each trading partner.
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 OEMs, primes, or distributors you serve.
Most manufacturers go live with a new trading partner in 14–21 days from the first call. Here's exactly how it works.
Schedule a DemoWe review your current EDI setup, trading partner requirements, ERP or MES environment, and map out the right integration approach for your operation.
We build and validate AS2/SFTP connections, configure EDI maps to each trading partner's specific document and labeling specs, and set up ASN validation and monitoring.
We run compliance testing directly with each trading partner's EDI team, resolve any document or label issues, and confirm all requirements are met before the first production shipment.
Your first fully compliant PO, ASN, and invoice flows without errors. We stay on to monitor transactions and update maps as trading partner specs change.
Moving your EDI to BOLD VAN is fast, straightforward, and fully supported from day one — with no disruption to your current trading partners.
