How it Works

Join the Fastest growing list of Companies using our Network

1. Easy Setup

Simply contact one of our representatives to receive account access.


2. Connect Trading Partners

Complete your profile to configure your mailbox for your trading partners. From there, we handle the entire process, contacting the other VANs, configuring AS2, etc. This process is transparent to your existing VAN trading partners; you do not need to change ID’s. If you are new to EDI we will help assign your ID’s and walk you through the entire process.

AS2 Trading Partners

If you trade with Wal-Mart or another AS2 trading partner, our AS2 specialists will work with you and your trading partner to quickly onboard the connection. You do not need to move your current AS2 trading partners to EDI Crunch. However, many companies find that, with EDI Crunch pricing, it is advantageous to move AS2 to our network in order to:

  • Standardize all communications
  • Eliminate annual AS2 licensing fees and reduce the number of servers to maintain
  • Eliminate support issues and challenges with firewalls, certificates, on-boarding

If you migrate to EDI Crunch you will still be AS2 with your trading partners, but you will receive all data from the VAN, regardless of protocol.

 
 

3. Connecting to EDI Crunch

As part of your profile setup, you can select from a variety of methods to communicate with EDI Crunch, including our easy to use data mover. Our data mover is secure and will be sent to you preconfigured to communicate with your mailbox. Other options include FTP, AS2, web services, and others.


4. Go Live!

We will work with you to schedule your go-live day. All of your VAN trading partners will be configured to trade with you via EDI Crunch at that time. We are here to help every step of the way.

  • trading partners
  • date ranges
  • transaction sets
  • control numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of our most frequently asked questions are answered here

Unlimited Data

Not anymore. EDI Crunch is unique. We do not count KC’s (Kilo Characters); as a result, you are allowed to exchange unlimited KC’s per month. Pricing is based solely on the number of trading partners that transmit data within a given month.
Yes, absolutely! EDI Crunch is revolutionary. We are the first company to mass market trading partner based pricing. We do not bill by the Kilo Character. The result is that you get to send and receive unlimited data.
With our trading partner pricing and virtually infinite capacity EDI Crunch is a perfect fit for any company looking for a simple, predictable, and easy to manage EDI network.

Trading Partner Pricing

At EDI Crunch a Trading Partner is defined as a unique ISA Sender / Receiver ID combination. We do not consider GS ID’s in this calculation.

For example: Let’s say your company has a single ISA ID and you exchange documents with Wal-Mart and Target in a given month. This counts as two trading partners.

To take the example further, let’s say you support EDI for two separate businesses, each with their own unique ISA ID, and each of them exchanges documents with Wal-Mart and Target in a given month. This counts as four trading partners.

It does not matter how many trading partners you have set up on our system, you will only be billed for the trading partners you exchange data with for that given month.
No, there is no extra charge for AS2 trading partners.
EDI Crunch only counts unique ISA Sender / Receiver ID combinations; a unique ISA Sender / Receiver ID combination with multiple GS ID’s counts as a single trading partner.

General VAN, EDI Questions

VAN stands for Value Added Network. It is essentially a virtual data terminal consisting of connections belonging to you and each of your trading partners. Data is routed between each partner and connection based on ISA Sender / Receiver ID.

EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. At a very high level, EDI is the electronic exchange of documents. EDI enables automation and integration. It provides standards for the formatting and exchanging of documents, and is meant to work regardless of the platform or systems used by the sending party or the receiving party.

A VAN helps enable this process by providing a means of transmitting and managing the communication of these documents.

AS2 is a method to securely and reliably transmit data over the internet using certificates and encryption.
