You'll set up EDI connections with new customers and trading partners, map and structure the transactions, and make sure data keeps moving between our systems and theirs. When a load tender fails or a shipment status never arrives, you'll be the one who finds the cause and fixes it.

What You'll Do

  • Supporting: 997/999 (Functional Acknowledgment), 856 (ASN), 850 (PO), 810 (Invoice)
• Troubleshoot and resolve: Watch EDI traffic every day. Find and fix failed, rejected or missing transactions, work through syntax and mapping errors, and follow up on missing acknowledgements.
• Manage communications: Set up and maintain connections over AS2, SFTP/FTP, VAN and API.
• Integrate with internal systems: Work with operations, billing and IT so EDI data flows correctly into and out of our TMS, WMS and accounting systems.
• Serve as the partner contact: Answer customer EDI questions, coordinate changes to specifications, and keep trading partner scorecards in good standing.
• Document everything: Keep current mapping specs, partner profiles, testing records and troubleshooting procedures.
• Improve the process: Find ways to automate, cut down on manual work, and add monitoring and alerts.

Required:

• Hands-on experience with at least one EDI translator or integration platform (for example IBM Sterling, Cleo, TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, OpenText, Kleinschmidt or similar)
• Understanding of communication protocols (AS2, SFTP, VAN)
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with close attention to detail
