EDI Integration
& Compliance
Purchasing Power, a technology-driven employee purchase program provider that has called Atlanta, Georgia home since 2001, operates with a razor-thin tolerance for data discrepancies. Their AS2-based routing guide demands flawless synchronization of EDI 850 purchase orders and EDI 856 advance ship notices, while also requiring branded packing slips and drop-ship vendor (DSV) compliance. One misaligned segment or missing compliance detail triggers immediate chargebacks and stalls your cash flow. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform eliminates this friction, handling every transaction set—including EDI 810 invoices and EDI 846 inventory inquiries—with zero manual intervention, so your team can focus on scaling revenue instead of firefighting data errors.

EDI in Minutes
Purchasing Power's routing guide is notorious for hidden business rules—from mandatory DSV flags on the 856 to specific invoice line-item sequencing on the 810. Cogential IT's proprietary real-time Validation Engine runs every outbound document through a gauntlet of checks tailored to Purchasing Power's exact specifications. It catches missing branded packing slip references, invalid GTINs, and incorrect AS2 envelope settings before transmission, so you never send a non-compliant file. The result? Zero chargebacks, zero rejected batches, and total confidence in every transaction.

Pre-Transmission Error DetectionOur Validation Engine simulates Purchasing Power's acceptance criteria in real time, flagging issues like missing DSV indicators, incorrect ship-to codes, or invalid barcode data on the EDI 856 before the file ever leaves your system.
