Their VAN-based ecosystem demands pixel-perfect EDI 856 transmissions with GS1-128 barcodes and branded packing slips, while any deviation triggers immediate chargebacks. Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform eliminates that risk entirely—our fully managed service handles every 810, 850, and 856 transaction with zero manual intervention, delivering 99.9% data accuracy and a Zero-Chargeback Guarantee.
