EDI Integration
& Compliance
For over a century, Plumbers Supply—founded in 1921 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky—has set the bar for wholesale distribution excellence. But their EDI routing guide is a minefield: VAN-only communication, strict GS1-128 barcode mandates, and branded packing slips that must accompany every shipment. One misstep triggers chargebacks and delays. Cogential IT's fully managed Cloud EDI Platform eliminates that risk, handling your EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 810 invoices, and EDI 855 acknowledgments with zero manual intervention.
