As businesses scale, the complexity of their supply chain and data exchange grows exponentially. For CFOs, CTOs, IT Directors, and EDI professionals, the challenge is finding an EDI Value-Added Network (VAN) that not only supports rapid growth but does so without introducing risk, surprise costs, or operational headaches. With decades of hands-on EDI expertise, we've been in the trenches with global brands and nimble startups alike — and we've seen firsthand how the right VAN unlocks true scalability and agility.
Growth is not just about higher transaction volumes — it's about onboarding new partners, merging in new platforms, entering international markets, and adapting to regulatory changes efficiently. EDI, the backbone of B2B communication, must scale seamlessly with your ambitions without licensing traps or vendor bottlenecks.
Traditional VAN contracts often present barriers to growth:
Operations leaders and EDI coordinators are forced to spend more time navigating bureaucracy than driving business outcomes. We've met too many organizations burned by confusing invoices and delayed onboarding. That's why we designed our modern VAN for transparent growth, real partnership, and pain-free transformation.
Growth shouldn't stall because your VAN can't keep up. Our philosophy is simple: onboarding a new trading partner should happen within a business day, not weeks or months. With our deep-rooted EDI expertise, we handle complex integrations with major ERPs—including Oracle, SAP, and Infor—so IT teams can focus on supporting the business, not wrangling partners.
Whether your partners use AS2, SFTP, REST API, or are on a different VAN entirely, seamless data exchange is non-negotiable. Our infrastructure is globally interconnected, allowing you to:
Even a few minutes of downtime can disrupt supply chains and damage relationships. That's why we've engineered our VAN for 99.998% uptime, so whether you’re sending hundreds or millions of EDI documents, data keeps flowing securely and consistently.
One of the overlooked killers of scalability is unpredictable cost escalation. Our transparent, tiered pricing ensures that as you grow, your per-transaction costs decrease. We bill strictly by the kilo-character—no rounding up, no mailbox or migration fees, and absolutely no hidden charges. This means your budget can scale with confidence.
The prospect of migrating EDI systems is a major fear for IT, finance, and operations alike. We believe transparency is the antidote:
Expanding companies often need to merge or connect disparate data systems across formats like X12, EDIFACT, flat files, or even Excel. Our data translation capabilities make it possible to:
This means your operations, IT, and finance teams can focus on strategy and growth rather than fire-fighting technical bottlenecks.
For businesses navigating supply chain growth, our fulfillment portal automates labels, packing slips, and shipping paperwork. By integrating documentation into your EDI workflow, manual entry and errors are eliminated, saving time as you onboard new partners or scale seasonal surges.
Scalability should not come at the expense of security or regulatory compliance. We built our platform to meet SOC-2 standards and offer end-to-end data encryption, with user authentication at every point. As compliance requirements shift (think GDPR, CCPA, global data residency laws), our managed service ensures you stay protected without added overhead or costs.
At the end of the day, people make scalability real. When growth puts pressure on IT and operations, having a partner who answers when you call makes all the difference. We are proud to commit:
From helping Amazon roll out EDI for the Kindle division worldwide to guiding high-growth CPGs through complex integrations, our founding team's experience runs deep—because in the real world, EDI is more than technology. It's trust, visibility, and execution at scale.
