Sync order and shipment data directly from ERP to eliminate double-entry and speed fulfillment.
Maintain uninterrupted VAN connectivity even during peak order cycles.

EDI Integration
& Compliance
Manual data entry and chargeback penalties are bleeding your margins. Superior Pool, a leading player in the consumer goods distribution space with a strong footprint in the pool and spa supply chain, demands flawless EDI compliance over VAN—including EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 856 advance ship notices, and EDI 810 invoices. Their routing guide mandates GS1-128 barcodes and branded packing slips; miss one detail and you're hit with deductions. Cogential IT's fully managed solution eliminates this risk, delivering zero chargebacks and 99.9% data accuracy without burdening your IT team.
-
Zero-Chargeback GuaranteeWe assume full liability for EDI errors. Our validation engine cross-checks every EDI 810 invoice against the original EDI 850 and EDI 856 to ensure line-item perfection before transmission over your VAN.
-
VAN Protocol MasterySuperior Pool communicates exclusively via VAN. We handle all connectivity, mapping, and translation, so you never touch a raw EDI file again.
-
GS1-128 Barcode ComplianceEvery carton must carry a compliant GS1-128 label. Our integrated barcode labeling engine generates and validates labels against Superior Pool's exact specifications, eliminating costly relabeling at the DC.
-
Branded Packing Slips & DSVSuperior Pool requires branded packing slips and drop-ship vendor (DSV) compliance. We auto-generate these documents from your ASN data, ensuring every shipment arrives audit-ready.

Validate Superior Pool
EDI in Minutes
Cogential IT's proprietary real-time Validation Engine is pre-loaded with Superior Pool's entire routing guide. Before any document leaves your system, it runs over 200 business-rule checks—from PO line-item matching to GS1-128 barcode syntax and branded packing slip requirements. If a single field violates Superior Pool's compliance rules, the engine flags it instantly with a human-readable error message, so you fix it before transmission. The result: zero chargebacks, zero manual rework, and total confidence in every EDI 810, 850, and 856 you send.

-
Barcode & Packing Slip Cross-CheckWe validate GS1-128 barcode data against the ASN and ensure branded packing slip fields match Superior Pool's DSV requirements, preventing receiving delays.
