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.

Where Smith Wholesale compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Keeping barcode labels, carton details, and shipment information in sync with the 856 Advanced Ship Notice is essential for seamless receiving.
Automating the 855 PO Acknowledgment process to reflect accurate order status, quantities, and delivery dates is key for managing supplier relationships.
