EDIBridge

EDIBridge is a modern cloud-based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized suppliers that need to become compliant with large retailers such as Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Kroger, and other major trading partners. The platform positions itself as a faster, simpler, and significantly cheaper alternative to traditional enterprise EDI providers, focusing on helping businesses get operational within hours instead of waiting weeks for complicated implementations.

The website strongly emphasizes affordability and ease of use. EDIBridge claims that many legacy EDI providers charge between $500 and $1,000 per month, often combined with additional per-transaction fees and annual contracts. In contrast, EDIBridge offers flat-rate pricing starting at only $49 per month with no transaction fees, making the service far more accessible for smaller suppliers and growing businesses. The company repeatedly highlights how businesses can save thousands of dollars annually by switching away from enterprise-focused EDI providers.

One of the platform’s standout features is the “Retail Connectivity Package” system. These packages are pre-configured setups designed for specific retailers, eliminating much of the technical complexity traditionally associated with EDI onboarding. The Walmart Supplier Package is included free and features a guided six-step setup wizard that handles SFTP configuration, EDI specifications, AI-generated field mapping proposals, validation rules, and testing workflows automatically. According to the site, users can become Walmart EDI compliant in as little as 15 minutes.

EDIBridge supports essential EDI document types required by major retailers, including 850 Purchase Orders, 856 Advanced Ship Notices, 810 Invoices, and 997 Functional Acknowledgements. The platform automates the sending, receiving, parsing, and validation of these documents, reducing manual work and helping suppliers avoid retailer compliance penalties and chargebacks. The website also promotes automated chargeback prevention alerts that warn users about potential compliance issues before transactions are submitted.

A major component of the platform is its AI-powered mapping engine. Instead of forcing users to manually configure complicated EDI field relationships, EDIBridge allows suppliers to upload spreadsheets or CSV files and automatically proposes mappings between user data and EDI document structures. The interface is described as visual and drag-and-drop based, allowing non-technical business owners to configure integrations without requiring EDI consultants or technical specialists.

The platform also supports both AS2 and SFTP communication methods, the standard delivery protocols used by large retailers for secure EDI document exchange. Security is presented as a core feature of the system, with encrypted credential storage and row-level data isolation to keep supplier information secure and separated between accounts.
