EDI Automation

Automated purchase orders, ASNs, invoicing and shortage-claim recovery — the manual steps where chargebacks are born.

The problem

What actually goes wrong

Manual PO handling produces late confirmations, wrong ASNs and labelling errors — each of which has a chargeback code attached to it.

Why this matters. Automate the transaction and most of the penalty disappears with it.

What each step involves
Business outcomes

What changes.

Stated as changes in how the business runs, because those are the ones we control.

01

Fewer chargebacks

The manual step that caused them is gone.

02

Faster cash

Invoices raised correctly the first time.

03

Claims automated

Generated from remittance, not memory.

04

Time recovered

Your team stops re-keying documents.

Every recommendation shows its arithmetic.

The reconciliation itself — settlements, fees, returns and claims resolved to a number you can take to a review.

FAQ

Questions we get about this service

Not entirely — some come from genuine operational misses. But it removes the class of chargeback caused by document error, which is usually the largest one.
