Retail Suppliers

Retailers are the driving force behind EDI and they use supply chain technology to manage the flow of goods to consumers. As a supplier or distributor, you need EDI to sell to any major retailer in North America. One retailer uses EDI one way, and another retailer uses EDI a different way. It can be intimidating, complex and frustrating.
Many retailers have also setup marketplaces and drop-ship programs for you to participate. Some send you orders through EDI, and others expect you to connect through an API. It’s another way you need to become compliant that adds another level of complexity.
That’s where Integral Group can help. We serve small, medium and large suppliers and distributors. We understand the complexities of retail and enable full API and EDI compliance with your trading partners.
