EDI Integration
& Compliance
Since 1985, TLF Graphics has operated from Rochester, New York, enforcing a routing guide that leaves no room for error. Their VAN-based EDI requires precise 850 purchase orders, 810 invoices, and 856 advance ship notices—each demanding GS1-128 barcodes and branded packing slips. Manual workarounds invite chargebacks and delayed payments. Cogential IT's fully managed Cloud EDI Platform automates every step, while our proprietary validation engine ensures your barcode labeling output meets TLF Graphics' exact specifications—zero chargebacks, guaranteed.

Where does TLF Graphics compliance usually break down?
Most compliance issues arise when order-to-invoice data mapping isn't aligned with physical shipping labels and packing slips.
Keying 810 invoices manually leads to pricing and quantity discrepancies that violate TLF Graphics’ EDI guidelines.
Intermittent VAN transmission interrupts PO and ASN flow, delaying manufacturing schedules and straining supplier relationships.

Validate TLF Graphics
EDI in Minutes
Cogential IT's real-time Validation Engine is pre-loaded with TLF Graphics' specific business rules, from segment qualifiers to barcode symbology. Before any 850, 810, or 856 is transmitted over their VAN, our engine cross-checks every field against their routing guide. If a packing slip lacks the required branding or a barcode fails GS1-128 checksum, you get an instant, human-readable error—not a chargeback. This proactive compliance layer turns a 3-day onboarding into a 30-minute validation sprint.
