Transform your Aerospace & Defense workflows with Lockheed Martin EDI integration from Cogential IT LLC. We provide world-class EDI mapping and seamless ERP synchronization to keep your business running without a hitch.
Document Navigation
Lockheed Martin EDI is the electronic exchange of procurement and logistics documents between suppliers and Lockheed Martin’s aerospace and defense supply chain, ensuring strict compliance with military-grade data standards and secure transmission protocols. It enables automated order processing, shipment notification, and invoicing, reducing manual intervention and accelerating the defense procurement lifecycle.
Validate every 850, 855, and 856 against Lockheed Martin’s exact EDI specifications to prevent chargebacks.
Sync purchase orders and ASNs directly with SAP S/4HANA or Oracle Fusion for real-time inventory accuracy.
Maintain AS2 and SFTP connectivity with redundant failover to ensure mission-critical document delivery.
Traceable to its pivotal 1995 defense merger and orchestrated from corporate headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin enforces some of the aerospace and defense sector's most exacting supply chain protocols. For suppliers navigating these rigorous procurement networks, data discrepancies risk contract holds and heavy penalties. Cogential IT eliminates friction through enterprise-grade Managed EDI Services, handling mission-critical data translation seamlessly without draining your internal IT resources while ensuring uncompromising EDI Compliance.
Most compliance issues arise when EDI mapping is disconnected from aerospace production and quality workflows.
Incorrect carton-level details in the 856 cause rejection, delaying shipment and disrupting production schedules.
Delayed or inaccurate 855 responses lead to order cancellations and loss of preferred supplier status.
Unstable AS2 channels drop transmissions, causing missed delivery windows and compliance penalties.
