Multi-retailer shipment gateway
One source file in. The right retailer file out.
Turn CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, IDoc, PDF, images or existing EDI into validated partner output. Confirm each new layout once, then route mixed batches of up to 1,000 files by partner code over SFTP, email or API.

No retailer guessing
Every document carries an explicit partner code
Confirm once
Saved source signatures make repeat layouts automatic
Fail one, not all
Every batch returns an independent result per file
After validation
Operate the document, not just the parser.
Version the partner contract, release the exact validated bytes, correlate the response and give users evidence they can export.
Partner governance
Fixture-tested pack promotion
Version identifiers, mappings, acknowledgement policy and delivery settings with atomic rollback.
Explore partner management → Control towerDelivery is not acceptance
Follow transaction timelines, exact-byte attempts, dead letters and matched X12 or EDIFACT acknowledgements.
See the monitoring model → Reporting evidenceKPIs that drill into rows
Export transaction, acknowledgement, exception and delivery-attempt detail without exposing payloads or secrets.

The conversion gate
Three decisions before a file leaves.
Source analysis, partner rendering and output validation share one deterministic path across the website, SFTP, email and API.
- 01 / MAP
Can source fields become shipment truth?
Inspect headings and values, propose a mapping, and require confirmation before the first automated release.
- 02 / ROUTE
Which partner pack owns this output?
Resolve the explicit code inside the workspace and render X12 856, EDIFACT DESADV or Amazon shipment JSON.
- 03 / VERIFY
Is the generated file safe to return?
Validate the generated output immediately, isolate failures, and return a per-file receipt and traceable rule-pack version.
One batch contract
Drop 1,000 files. Route 1,000 decisions.
A bad Target file does not block a valid Walmart file. Missing codes and first-seen source layouts move to quarantine; confirmed siblings keep processing and receive their partner output.
Tagged recipient or attachment
workspace+AMAZON@in.shipmentsentry.comAuthorize exact senders. Route attachments by plus tag or PARTNER__filename; large result sets return as one safe ZIP.
API + callback
Code on every document
"partner_code": "TESCO-UK"Idempotent batch responses include every decision; optional signed callbacks report completion without exposing document payloads.
Partner truth stays explicit: Amazon and Walmart packs have public first-party implementation evidence. Other retailer routes apply universal X12 or EDIFACT controls and remain marked “partner guide required” until your current authorized guide is configured.
Product-led reference library
Every guide ends in a check you can run.
No keyword wallpaper. Indexed pages have a distinct rule, current source trail, accepted/rejected examples, and a relevant tool.
Implementation guide
Amazon ASN errors: isolate the failing layer before changing the mapping
Diagnose Amazon ASN parser, envelope, hierarchy, SSCC, quantity, label, and shipment-reference errors with exact locations and corrective steps.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon EDI 856: validate the shipment, not only the syntax
Build and validate an Amazon Vendor EDI 856 ASN with correct envelopes, HL hierarchy, purchase orders, SSCCs, shipment references, and tests.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon EDI testing: exercise the failures a happy-path 856 cannot show
Test Amazon EDI syntax, business rules, document reconciliation, negative fixtures, retries, acknowledgements, and operator correction before go-live.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon Vendor EDI transaction sets work as one order-to-cash chain
Understand the Amazon Vendor order-to-cash EDI chain and the cross-document checks that catch failures no single-file validator can see.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon multi-PO pallet ASN: preserve every order-to-carton relationship
Model a multi-PO pallet with Shipment, Order, Tare, Pack, and Item parentage, then validate common crossed-order and SSCC errors.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon Receive Accuracy: find document-versus-shipment mismatches before dispatch
Reduce preventable Amazon receiving discrepancies by reconciling ASN quantities, cartons, labels, purchase orders, and transportation references.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon SSCC label requirements: validate the number and the ASN-to-label match
Check an Amazon SSCC-18, understand AI (00), uniqueness and label matching, and see how SSCC values connect to an EDI 856 MAN segment.
Open guide → Implementation guideAmazon Vendor Shipments API: preflight the payload before the 202 response
Validate SubmitShipmentConfirmations JSON against current required fields, shipment-type rules, identifiers, carton tracking, and source data.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 810 validation is a three-way money-path reconciliation
Validate an EDI 810 against accepted orders and shipped quantities, then independently recompute totals, tax, parties and terms.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 850 validation must protect the order state, not only parse a file
Validate an EDI 850 for duplicate delivery, order identity, revisions, cancellations, item identifiers, quantities and safe downstream state.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 855 validation starts with the active 850
Validate an EDI 855 against the current purchase order so item status, accepted quantity, dates and reasons remain consistent.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 856 example: read the hierarchy, then test the exact bytes
Download accepted and rejected X12 856 samples, understand the envelope and HL loops, and run the example through a free Amazon-focused validator.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 856 mapping: start from the physical and commercial sources
Map an EDI 856 from purchase orders, WMS pack output, labels, and transport data without hiding hierarchy or reconciliation defects.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 856 segments: a practical map from shipment header to packed item
Understand the major EDI 856 segments, their hierarchy level, common errors, and how to validate them against an Amazon Vendor shipment.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI 997 vs 999: acknowledgement is a scoped technical status
Correlate 997 and 999 acknowledgments to exact X12 controls without confusing translator acceptance with Amazon business success.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDI document reconciliation catches what syntax validation cannot
Reconcile ordered, accepted, shipped and billed quantities across EDI documents with atomic ledgers, versioned evidence and actionable exceptions.
Open guide → Implementation guideEDIFACT DESADV validation should be its own standards family
Validate a DESADV with a pinned UNECE directory, dedicated parser, partner profile, package hierarchy and order-to-shipment reconciliation.
Open guide → Implementation guideFree SSCC barcode generator and check digit calculator
Generate and validate an 18-digit SSCC, preview a GS1-128 barcode with AI 00, download an SVG, and understand the checks required before printing.
