FMI International EDI is the electronic exchange of shipping, inventory, and warehouse management documents between FMI International and third-party logistics providers, enabling automated processing of shipping orders, advice, and inventory adjustments. It ensures real-time visibility, accurate compliance with 3PL partner specifications, and seamless integration into supply chain operations.
Validate 940, 945, and 856 transmission for error-free warehouse execution.
Sync shipping advice and inventory adjustments to WMS in real time.
Maintain AS2 and SFTP connectivity for uninterrupted EDI flows.
Operating out of Carteret, New Jersey since its establishment in 1979, FMI International has set rigorous logistics and distribution benchmarks across the 3PL sector. Meeting their rapid cross-dock and warehouse distribution mandates requires strict adherence to electronic data exchange protocols. With Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform, vendors seamlessly automate critical order workflows—such as the EDI 940 shipping order—eliminating shipment delays, costly administrative overhead, and SLA penalties.
Most compliance issues happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Incomplete ASN data causes chargebacks; we map carton hierarchy into 856 exactly per FMI’s specs.
Delayed warehouse orders disrupt operations; our integration forwards 940 in seconds, not batches.
FMI mandates AS2 stability; we provide redundant AS2 channels and 24/7 alerting to ensure uptime.
Deep 3PL EDI expertise, seamless WMS integration, and proactive monitoring ensure your shipments meet every FMI specification without fail.
Our ready-to-deploy 940/856 maps accelerate onboarding while ensuring full compliance with FMI’s evolving EDI guidelines.
