EDI Operations

Managed EDI operations on SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, and any VAN you run.

Nascaps runs the EDI desk on your platform. We do not sell EDI software. Our team onboards trading partners, runs the day-to-day document flow, handles exceptions, and closes the operational gaps that cause retailer chargebacks, on whichever VAN or managed-EDI platform your business has already subscribed to.

What the desk runs

Every retailer document, on cycle, on schedule.

The platform transmits. Nascaps operates. Your systems receive a clean feed, your trading partners stay compliant, and your finance team stops firefighting reason codes.

Platforms we operate on

Whichever platform you already subscribe to.

Nascaps does not sell an EDI platform. We use your chosen vendor for mapping, translation, and transmission. Our scope is the operational work on top of that platform, where most of the daily risk lives.

SPS Commerce

Fulfilment, analytics, and community-based trading partner connections.

TrueCommerce

Managed EDI, WMS integrations, and fulfilment automation.

Other VANs and AS2

Point-to-point AS2, FTP/SFTP, and alternative VAN providers as required.

Ask about yours

If you already subscribe to an EDI platform, we almost certainly operate on it.

What the EDI desk covers

Operations, not just pipes.

A healthy EDI set-up is three parts connectivity and seven parts operations. The connectivity is the easy part. Nascaps owns the operations.

01

Trading partner onboarding

Registration filed in the retailer or VAN portal, maps built to the routing guide, 850/856/810/997 and UCC-128 tested through certification, and go-live coordinated so no one is firefighting on day one.

02

Day-to-day document transmission

Orders, shipment notices, invoices, and acknowledgements sent and received on schedule. Nothing sits in a queue waiting for a human.

03

Exception handling

Rejected 824s, missing 997s, mismatched 850s. We chase each exception to closure and keep a log your team can audit.

04

Spec and version management

Retailer specifications change quarterly. We track the versions, run the regression testing, and migrate your maps without a production incident.

05

Chargeback prevention

Most EDI chargebacks are preventable with tighter operational discipline. We fix the operational root cause, not just the reason code.

06

ERP and WMS coordination

The EDI desk touches your ERP, your WMS, and your carrier systems. We coordinate across all three, so documents, inventory, and shipments stay in sync.

Document flow

How the documents move.

A typical retailer cycle, showing which documents flow in each direction. The platform transmits. Nascaps operates. Your systems receive a clean feed.
