Logistics Providers
As a logistics provider, you’re in the business of storing, managing and moving goods. At Integral Group, we’re in the business of storing, managing and moving data.
In addition to warehousing and distribution services, your customers expect you to connect to all their order sources. It’s not just EDI anymore, marketplaces like Amazon and shopping carts like Shopify use APIs to connect. The costs associated with all this technology can put your core logistics services at a cost disadvantage.
A way to reduce those costs and increase margins on your logistics services is outsource order management and integration in partnership with Integral Group. Our integration services integrate warehouse orders, transportation orders and other documents with your WMS, TMS and shipping system. We code one integration point for each document type which means you don’t pay extra every time a new customer comes along.

Tip Title
An 856 is also referred to as an Advance Ship Notice (ASN)
Tip Title
A single 850 can involve three or more other EDI documents before an order is completed
Tip Title
Some trading partners have eliminated the 810 entirely. They will remit payment based on the contents of the 856. We can automatically create the 810 based on the 856 and send it to your trading partner.
Tip Title
We can automatically create the 855 based on the 850 and send it to your trading partner

The 945 produced by the warehouse often becomes an 856 before it's sent back to the trading partner
Tip Title
The 846 is more prevalent as a result of eCommerce. Customers want their shopping cart system to be as up to date as possible
Are you using two or more EDI service providers? It costs you money and requires extra training, time and effort to keep up. You might think you have no choice – but you really do.
Even though some retailers may endorse a particular EDI service provider, Avalon connects to those very same retailers every day. See our list of retailer connections.
If you're using a retailer portal like WalMart Retail Link or Amazon Vendor Central, you may not know they give you the option to bypass their portal and use Avalon instead – all you have to do is ask.

Avalon is available for a flat monthly fee. See our flat rate service plans or reach out to us and see how much you can save.
