Connect with Costco Using BOLD VAN for EDI

Costco EDI, Done For You

Supplying Costco warehouses or Costco.com as a vendor? BOLD VAN connects you to Costco’s EDI program with fixed, trading‑partner pricing, so you can stay fully compliant without surprise VAN overages or chargebacks from ASN, invoice, or label issues. Whether you just need a rock‑solid EDI pipe, full integration into your ERP/WMS/3PL, or a standalone portal to run Costco orders, BOLD VAN has a model that fits.

We manage Costco specs, onboarding, testing, and map maintenance, and guide your team through Costco vendor portals and processes, so your ERP, WMS, or 3PL trades clean documents. New to EDI? We help you from Costco’s initial forms through go‑live.

Supports: Costco warehouse clubs and Costco.com
Typical migration timeline: 14–21 days from kickoff to first compliant Costco shipment

Core documents we support (examples):

• Inbound 850 Purchase Order: Costco sends you orders
• Outbound 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment: you confirm quantities and dates
• Outbound 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN): you send shipment and carton details
• Outbound 810 Invoice: you bill Costco for shipped orders
• Outbound 860 Purchase Order Change (when required)

Connectivity options: AS2, VAN, or SFTP with direct ERP / WMS / 3PL integration, flat files, or APIs

Managed monitoring & alerts: catch ASN, invoice, and GS1‑128 / label issues before they turn into launch delays, compliance hits, or chargebacks

How we work with Costco

1. Transmission Only (no setup fee)
   We handle all connectivity between you and Costco over AS2, VAN, SFTP, etc. You keep managing files; we keep documents flowing to Costco in the right format without VAN surprises.
2. Transmission + Transformation (full integration)
   We map Costco documents into and out of your ERP, WMS, TMS, 3PL, etc., over flat file, EDI, or APIs. When Costco updates guides, we maintain the maps so your internal team doesn’t have to.
3. Web Portal (no EDI team required)
   View Costco orders in a non‑EDI format, build pallets, print labels (FedEx, UPS, GS1 UCC‑128), and print Costco‑compliant shipping paperwork. The portal automatically builds and sends ASNs, invoices, PO acknowledgments, and inventory files.

Whether you’re moving a large Costco book of business or setting up your first Costco EDI connection, there is a model that fits.
