CLOUD EDI PLATFORM
Under The Sun
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Under The Sun, a leading player in the manufacturing sector with a strong footprint in outdoor living products, enforces one of the most unforgiving routing guides in the industry. Their AS2 and VAN communication protocols demand flawless EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 856 advance ship notices, and 810/855 transactions—all synchronized with GS1-128 barcode labels and branded packing slips. One missed segment or misaligned barcode triggers immediate chargebacks and vendor scorecard penalties. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform absorbs this complexity, delivering zero-chargeback compliance and 99.9% data accuracy without burdening your IT team.
-
Zero-Chargeback GuaranteeOur proprietary validation engine pre-checks every 810, 850, 855, and 856 against Under The Sun's exact business rules—including GS1-128 barcode syntax and DSV packing slip requirements—so errors are caught before transmission, not after.
-
Fully-Managed AS2 & VAN ConnectivityWe handle all AS2 certificates, VAN interconnects, and protocol handshakes. Your team never touches a single EDI map or communication setup—just plug into our cloud and start trading.
-
Pre-Configured Segment MappingUnder The Sun's complex segment requirements (including N1 loops, REF qualifiers, and hierarchical ASN structures) are pre-mapped and tested. No custom coding, no endless mapping cycles.
-
Branded Packing Slips & Barcode AutomationGenerate Under The Sun-compliant branded packing slips and GS1-128 labels directly from your ERP data. Our system auto-populates SSCC-18 serials and carton-level details, eliminating manual label errors.

Where does Under The Sun compliance typically break down?

Mismatched barcodes and 856 carton data cause immediate rejection, resulting in chargebacks and supply disruptions.
What makes the 855 acknowledgment window so critical?
Late or inaccurate 855s signal non-compliance, risking suspension of new purchase orders from Under The Sun.
