Build Direct.com EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of business documents between suppliers and the Build Direct.com e-commerce platform, ensuring automated order-to-fulfillment workflows.

Ever since emerging from Vancouver, British Columbia in 1999, BuildDirect.com has revolutionized heavy building materials e-commerce with stringent vendor fulfillment standards. Navigating their complex drop-ship and logistics guidelines requires bulletproof precision—where a single mapping defect in your inventory feeds or shipping notices triggers steep chargebacks. Cogential IT delivers turnkey EDI compliance through our fully Managed EDI Services, completely insulating your supply chain from costly routing infractions.
Most compliance issues arise when EDI mapping and physical fulfillment processes are disconnected.
