CLOUD EDI PLATFORM

Smith Wholesale EDI Integration
& Compliance

For over seven decades, Smith Wholesale has been a cornerstone of pharmaceutical distribution from its Spartanburg, South Carolina headquarters, but their EDI routing guide is notoriously unforgiving. One misplaced segment in your 850 or a delayed 856 ASN triggers immediate chargebacks and shelf-stockouts. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI Platform eliminates that risk entirely—we handle AS2 and VAN connectivity, pre-map every transaction set, and guarantee zero chargebacks. Stop wrestling with manual data entry and start shipping with 99.9% accuracy through our EDI 856 automation.

  • Zero-Chargeback Guarantee
    Our proprietary validation engine cross-checks every 850, 855, 810, and 856 against Smith Wholesale's exact business rules before transmission, so you never face a deduction again.
  • AS2 & VAN Connectivity Done For You
    We manage the complex AS2 certificates and VAN interconnects, ensuring your EDI traffic flows seamlessly without burdening your IT team.
  • Pre-Mapped Pharmaceutical Transaction Sets
    From purchase orders (850) to invoices (810) and advance ship notices (856), we've already mapped every segment and qualifier to Smith Wholesale's specifications.
  • GS1-128 Barcode & Packing Slip Compliance
    We generate compliant GS1-128 barcodes and branded packing slips with DSV requirements, so your shipments pass warehouse scanning without a hitch.
