EDI Integration
& Compliance
Since 1921, Wallace & Carey has been the backbone of Canadian logistics, operating from their Calgary, Alberta headquarters with a distribution network that tolerates zero errors. Their routing guide is notoriously unforgiving: a single missing GS1-128 barcode or a misaligned branded packing slip can trigger chargebacks and delay your entire shipment. Cogential IT's fully-managed Cloud EDI Platform eliminates that risk, handling your EDI 850 purchase orders, 810 invoices, and 856 ASNs with zero manual intervention—so you can focus on growth, not compliance.
-
Zero-Chargeback Guarantee for VAN TransactionsWallace & Carey communicates exclusively via VAN, and our managed EDI services handle every 850, 810, and 856 with real-time validation against their exact routing guide—so you never face a chargeback for a missing segment or wrong qualifier.
-
GS1-128 Barcode & Branded Packing Slip AutomationWe auto-generate Wallace & Carey's required GS1-128 labels and branded packing slips (DSV) directly from your ASN data, ensuring every carton is scan-ready and compliant before it leaves your dock.
-
Seamless ERP Integration for 850/810/856Our pre-configured maps plug into your ERP, translating Wallace & Carey's complex segment requirements for purchase orders, invoices, and advance ship notices without any manual data entry.
-
Real-Time Visibility into Every TransactionTrack each 850, 810, and 856 as it flows through the VAN, with instant alerts on any validation errors—so you can fix issues before Wallace & Carey even sees them.
