Since opening its doors in Naples, Florida back in 1958, Sunshine Ace Hardware has grown into a cornerstone of the regional building materials supply chain—and their routing guide is no walk in the park.

That's where Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform steps in: we handle the entire onboarding, map your ERP to their exact specs, and automate barcode labeling so you never miss a beat. The result? Zero chargebacks, 99.9% data accuracy, and total visibility from PO to payment—without hiring a single IT resource.
