Under Armour
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Under Armour, the performance apparel powerhouse founded in 1996 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, doesn't tolerate EDI errors. Their AS2-based routing guide demands pixel-perfect EDI 856 transmissions with GS1-128 barcode labels on every carton—miss one digit and you're staring down a $500 chargeback. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI platform eliminates that risk entirely, handling 850, 855, 810, and 846 transactions with zero manual intervention, so your team can focus on selling more gear, not fixing data.

Pre-Mapped 850 & 855 FlowsOur platform auto-translates your ERP data into Under Armour's exact EDI 850 format, then captures 855 responses to confirm order acceptance, eliminating manual re-keying and order delays.

Validate Under Armour
EDI in Minutes
Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine runs every Under Armour transaction through a gauntlet of business rules before it ever leaves your system. It checks segment sequencing, mandatory qualifiers, and cross-field dependencies specific to Under Armour's routing guide—like ensuring the SSCC-18 barcode on your EDI 856 matches the carton count on your branded packing slip. If a single character is off, you get an instant, human-readable error insight, not a cryptic EDI rejection. That's how we back our Zero-Chargeback Guarantee: catch the mistake in minutes, not after the chargeback hits.
-
Pre-Transmission Rule ChecksOur engine validates every 850, 855, 810, 856, and 846 against Under Armour's exact business rules—including mandatory DSV and branded packing slip requirements—before AS2 transmission.
-
GS1-128 Barcode IntegrityWe automatically verify that your SSCC-18 barcode data aligns with your EDI 856 line items, preventing receiving dock rejections and costly chargebacks.
-
Human-Readable Error InsightsNo more deciphering 997 functional acknowledgements. Get plain-English explanations of what failed and how to fix it, so your team can resolve issues in minutes, not days.
-
Zero-Chargeback GuaranteeIf a validated transaction still results in a chargeback due to our error, we cover the penalty. That's how confident we are in our validation engine.
