An EDI Managed Service is a fully outsourced solution where a third-party provider handles the daily operations, maintenance, and support of your EDI system. Instead of relying on in-house resources to manage complex EDI tasks, an EDI service provider assumes responsibility for mapping, compliance, trading partner onboarding, monitoring, troubleshooting, and updates. This allows you to focus on core operations while ensuring EDI is handled efficiently, securely, and in compliance with industry standards.
GraceBlood’s EDI Services include a comprehensive suite of services, such as EDI setup and configuration, ongoing monitoring and maintenance, transaction processing, compliance management, troubleshooting, and continuous support. We tailor our services to meet your specific business needs.
At GraceBlood, we prioritize data security in all our EDI services. We implement strict security protocols, including data encryption, secure access controls, and regular monitoring to protect your sensitive information. Our systems are designed to comply with industry standards and regulations, ensuring your data remains safe and secure.
Transitioning from an on-premise EDI solution to a managed service involves several well-coordinated steps. First, your current EDI environment is assessed, including trading partner connections, mapping requirements, and existing workflows. The provider then replicates and modernizes these components in a secure cloud or hosted environment. This is followed by data migration, testing with key partners, and a phased go-live to ensure minimal disruption. Throughout the process, an experienced onboarding team works closely with your internal stakeholders to ensure a smooth handoff, ongoing communication, and continued performance.
The setup time for EDI Managed Services varies depending on your business’s specific requirements and the complexity of your systems. However, GraceBlood’s experienced team ensures a swift and efficient onboarding process to get your EDI operations up and running as quickly as possible.
GraceBlood’s EDI Managed Services include comprehensive compliance management to ensure your EDI operations meet all trading partner requirements. We continuously monitor changes in standards and specifications and adjust your EDI processes accordingly to maintain compliance and avoid disruptions.
EDI Managed Services benefit a wide range of businesses, especially those in industries with complex supply chains or regulatory requirements. These include manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, retailers, and healthcare organizations. Small to mid-sized businesses without dedicated EDI teams often find managed services especially valuable, as they gain access to enterprise-level capabilities without the overhead. Larger enterprises may also use managed services to augment internal resources and ensure business continuity.
EDI integration connects your EDI solution to your existing ERP, WMS, or order management systems so that data flows automatically between applications. A managed service provider ensures this integration is seamless— using APIs, or custom scripts tailored to your software environment. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and streamlines order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes.
By outsourcing your EDI operations to GraceBlood, you can significantly reduce the costs associated with maintaining in-house EDI expertise and infrastructure. Our fully managed EDI platform offers predictable, scalable pricing, allowing you to optimize your budget while benefiting from expert EDI management.
By delivering a seamless and personalized experience for every customer, we are building the most trusted supply chain in the world.
