& Compliance
Every hour your team spends manually keying warehouse shipping orders into Prime Distribution Services Inc's portal is an hour of margin erosion. As a dominant force in the third-party logistics sector, their routing guide demands flawless execution across EDI 940, EDI 945, and EDI 856 transactions—all transmitted via AS2 or SFTP. One misplaced segment or missing GS1-128 barcodes triggers immediate chargebacks and shipment delays. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI platform eliminates that risk entirely, automating every document flow while enforcing Prime's exact compliance rules, including branded packing slips, so you achieve zero chargebacks and 99.9% data accuracy from day one.
-

Our managed service guarantees every document meets their AS2 and SFTP transmission specs, eliminating costly penalties.

Automated GS1-128 Label GenerationWe pre-configure your system to produce GS1-128 barcode labels that Prime's WMS scans instantly, syncing with your EDI 856 ASN to prevent receiving discrepancies and manual rework.

-

EDI in Minutes

Pre-Transmission Error DetectionOur engine validates every EDI 940, 945, and 856 against Prime's unique segment and element requirements, flagging issues like missing N1 loops or incorrect ship-to codes before they ever leave your system.
-
GS1-128 Barcode Compliance ChecksWe automatically verify that your ASN data aligns with the GS1-128 barcode structure Prime's WMS expects, preventing receiving delays and chargebacks caused by unreadable or mismatched labels.
-
Branded Packing Slip Rule EnforcementThe validation engine ensures your packing slip data includes Prime's required branding and DSV fields, so every carton passes their inbound audit without manual intervention.
