It ensures real-time data synchronization across 3PL operations, enabling accurate inventory movement, shipment tracking, and compliance with Sherway Group’s digital fulfillment protocols, reducing manual intervention and accelerating order-to-delivery cycles.

Operational Focus
Where does Sherway Group compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when warehouse operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
01
Are 940 shipping orders mapped to correct warehouse locations?
Misrouted orders cause fulfillment delays; our mapping ensures each 940 directs inventory to the right Sherway facility.
02
Does the 945 shipping advice match actual shipment data?
Discrepancies between advised and shipped quantities trigger chargebacks; we validate 945 against WMS output before transmission.
03
Is the 856 ASN sent with accurate carton-level details?
Incomplete ASN data leads to receiving errors; we enforce carton-level barcode and packing slip alignment in every 856.

04
