& Compliance
Since 1978, Value Drug Mart has grown from a single Edmonton, Alberta location into a dominant force in Canadian pharmaceutical distribution—and their vendor compliance mandates are just as rigorous as their growth trajectory.

Cogential IT's fully managed Cloud EDI Platform eliminates that risk entirely, handling AS2 and VAN connectivity, pre-mapped transaction sets, and real-time validation so your supply chain runs with zero friction.

VALIDATION ENGINE
Validate Value Drug Mart
EDI in Minutes
Value Drug Mart's routing guide is unforgiving: a single missing barcode or an incorrect DSV packing slip can trigger a chargeback that wipes out your margin on the entire order. Cogential IT's proprietary Validation Engine runs every outbound document through a gauntlet of partner-specific business rules before transmission. It checks GS1-128 barcode syntax, verifies branded packing slip data against the ASN, and confirms all mandatory segments for 810, 850, 855, and 856 transactions. The result? You catch errors in minutes, not after a costly rejection.
-
GS1-128 Barcode ComplianceOur engine validates every <a href="/barcode-labeling/">barcode label</a> against Value Drug Mart's exact GS1-128 specifications, including SSCC, GTIN, and lot/batch numbers, so your cartons scan perfectly at their DC.
-
Branded Packing Slip & DSV EnforcementWe automatically cross-check your <a href="/packaging-slip/">packing slip</a> data against the ASN and Value Drug Mart's DSV requirements, ensuring every shipment includes the correct branded documentation—no manual audits needed.
-
Real-Time Error InsightsInstead of waiting for a 997 rejection, our Validation Engine flags non-compliant fields instantly, showing you exactly what to fix before the document ever leaves your system.
-
Chargeback Prevention AnalyticsTrack your compliance score over time with dashboards that highlight recurring issues, helping you proactively eliminate the root causes of Value Drug Mart deductions.
