& Compliance
For over a century, Paragon Sports has set the standard in sporting goods retail from its New York, NY headquarters—a legacy that began in 1908 and now demands flawless digital trading. Their routing guide is notoriously strict: VAN-based communications, a full suite of EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 856 advance ship notices, 810 invoices, and 846 inventory feeds, all wrapped in GS1-128 barcode mandates and branded packing slip/DSV requirements. One misstep triggers chargebacks, shipment refusals, and vendor scorecard damage. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI platform eliminates that risk entirely—we handle every segment mapping, every barcode label, and every compliance check so your team never touches a raw EDI file again. The result? Zero chargebacks, 99.9% data accuracy, and total visibility from PO to payment.
